ALL YOU NEED
2 cups of legume sprouts, you can also use a mix of lentils, chickpeas and seeds.
1/2 cup Pom Pom Paddock cauliflower flour
1/2 sweet potato steamed and mashed
2 tsp. curry paste or tomato kussoundi
1 tbsp. chia seeds mixed with 1 tbsp. coconut oil & 1 tbsp. filtered water set aside for 10 minutes to become jelly like.
1/3 cup coriander.
Juice from one lime.
2cm knob of ginger grated.
Sea salt and pepper to taste ( I use roughly 1/4. tsp. salt but you may like it a little saltier.
LETS CREATE!
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
In a large bowl place all the ingredients. Using your hands mix and kneed well until all the ingredients are even distributed and the mix comes away from the sides of the bowl. If it feels so dry add a dash of water (just 1 tbsp. at a time). If it feels to wet, add a sprinkle more chickpea flour.
Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Take small handfuls of the mix and roll into gold ball size balls laying each onto the lined baking tray as you go.
Once you have rolled all the mix, place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Pull from the oven once golden and set aside for 5 minutes to cool. Serve warm with fresh garden salad and garlicyoghurt, or lemonytahini dipping sauce.
Can keep refrigerated in an air tight container for 5 days.
I guess this is your (return to office life) working week lunches sorted.
