Walnut Orange Globes (Vegan, Gluten Free)

from Good Clean Food, Lily Kunin, p. 72

  • ½ cup raw walnuts

  • ½ cup raw almonds

  • 3-4 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup

  • ¼ tsp Valencia orange zest

  • 1 tablespoon fresh Valencia orange juice

  • ¼ tsp lemon zest

  • Pinch of fine sea salt or pink salt

  • Almond milk or water if needed

  • 2 tablespoons hemp hearts for rolling

Pulse the walnuts and almonds in a food processor until it becomes a crumbly mixture of small chunks. Add the honey, orange zest and juice, lemon zest, salt and blend.

The mixture should stick together when pinched between your fingers. Add a splash of almond milk or water if needed.

Pour hemp hearts into a shallow plate. Use a small cookie scoop or teaspoon to scoop the nut mixture and form it into balls. Roll each ball in the hemp hearts.

Place the balls on a parchment lined plate and chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for 3 months.
