A really low fat, low carbohydrate, raw food that is vegan. It's delicious, tasty and even the kids will love it. For a less spicy flavour, just subtract the spices - you will still savour the wonderful flavour..
Ingredients
- 70g (1/2 cup) dates, roughly chopped
- 60g (1/3 cup) dried apricots, roughly chopped
- 1/4 Tspn ground cinnamon
- 1/4 Tspn ground cardamom
- 205g (2 cups) organic muesli (fruit-free)
- 30g organic sesame seeds
Method
- Add dates, dried apricots and spices to a pan and add 2/3 cup (160ml) water and bring to the boil.
- Reduce the heat the low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Simmer until the fruit is soft and the liquid is syrupy - around 10 minutes.
- Set aside and cool the spicy fruit water for about 20 minutes.
- Add the muesli to a food processor and set it so that it is finely chopped. Add the muesli to a bowl.
- Add the sesame seeds to a pan over medium-high heat to toast them. Stir continuously until the sesame seeds are lightly toasted - this should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the sesame seeds from the pan and add them to a plate.
- Add cooled spicy fruit water to a food processor and puree.
- Add the pureed spicy fruit to the muesli in the bowl and mix through with your hands until all ingredients are combined and it forms a stiff mixture.
- Roll 2 teaspoons of the mixture into a ball and then toss it in the sesame seeds on the plate until it is well coated.
- Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
- Keep the balls in an airtight container in the refridgerator for up to 3 weeks.
This is a great snack for those sweet cravings in the afternoons, or even to serve as an after dinner snack. It is low GI and low in sugar.
