Recipe for Savory Raw Veggie Stuffing (4 small, yet very filling servings)

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup walnuts or a combo of walnuts & pecans (preferably soaked & dehydrated)
  • 4-5 pitted dates
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon himalayan salt
  • dash of fresh ground pepper
  • few sprinkles of poultry seasoning (optional), maybe a shake of garlic (optional)
  • 1/2 large carrot chopped
  • 1 1/2 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 scallion chopped into big pieces for food processor
  • Drizzle of EVOO for finishing

Method

  1. Add walnuts through salt & pepper to a food processor and pulse several times until combined into smaller pieces.  Add the chopped carrot, celery and scallion and process til carrots and celery are incorporated as small bits like the picture.  Check seasonings.
  2. How easy is that!  Scrape into your serving bowl or onto your plates and drizzle with a wee bit of EVOO. Enjoy 🙂

 

How is your New Year going so far?  I hope fantastic.  All my best & much love to you!

XOXO

The house smelled just like it does every Christmas, all the flavors of each dish mingled together perfectly just like they do in the traditional versions.  We found ourselves exclaiming repeatedly each dish was our favorite – all so yummy.
