Date-Cardamom-Cashew Blobs vegan repost

[Guest guest]

Here's a favorite of mine. Uses cardamom, cashews,

coconut and dates! All 4 of my favorites together.

I use 5 cardamom pods and these are nippy good!

Hope the other measurements help

 

Date-Cardamom-Cashew Blobs

 

Spicy, unique flavor in a flash.

 

1 cup (250 mL) lightly toasted cashew pieces

cardamom seeds from two to four pods or 1/8 to 1/4 tsp

(0.5-1 mL) powdered

1 cup (250 mL) finely chopped dates

finely grated peel of one organic orange

1/2 cup dried coconut, toasted and then powdered in

blender

 

Chop cashews fairly fine (the blender chops them too

fine). Remove cardamom from

pods and grind with a mortar and pestle or between two

spoons. Combine cashews

and cardamom in a bowl with dates and orange peel.

Knead mixture with fingertips

until uniform, then roll in one inch (2.5 cm) balls

and coat with coconut. Makes

18 blobs.
