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.
