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!

Though the leaves on the tall oaks have thinned considerably, our window panes remain candy boxes of red, orange and gold.  That time of year again.  Halloween days away.  When we shut off the outdoor spigots for fear of frost and burst pipes.  And we've waited til the last possible minute to lug in the remains of the garden, the salvageable herbs that can be brought in for the winter and then taken back out again next spring!  

What a thrill it is to invite these summer friends back inside!  Fragrant, bountiful greenery at a time when the rest of nature is going into hibernation.  We spray off mossy pots and turn them on end to lift our new housemates to sunny heights!  Each morning they quiver with joy as I mist them all over.  (Thanks for the suggestion Pamela!)

And I am beside myself… adding fresh mint to my honey tea, oregano to my egg salad sandwiches, sage browned butter over gnocchi (recipe coming soon)… It feels like Christmas to me!  I suppose it's the sudden population of frangrant greenery that brings me back.  A lovely prelude to the holidays!
