Why didn't anyone tell me...

that Spicy walnut taco meat recipe is addictive? :eek:
I just made it for the first time today, wrapped it in kale leaves with guacamole.
It's so easy to make and tastes really, really good. I haven't had much success with nuts in a savory dish until now (haven't really liked any of the recipes that I made before). Thank goodness my stomach doesn't hold as much food as it used to, I would have eaten the whole bowl! I like it really spicy, so I added lots of cayenne pepper. This recipe is going to be a staple in my diet for a while! Yum!!!

Hi,
I was just wondering where you found the recipe! I would love to try it!

Hi,

Sorry, I should have put that info in my post.
It's a recipe from Matt Amsden I believe, in his book Rawvolution. I found it, however, on another raw food board, goneraw.com

The recipe is simple;

1 1/2 cups soaked walnuts, ground
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
3/4 teaspoon coriander
2 teaspoons nama shoyu
cayenne pepper to taste

just mix it all up and put it in whatever wrap you like. Or not. I ate some of it with a spoon! You might want to experiment with the amount of seasonings to get the right flavor for yourself. Enjoy, it's really good!

I love this too!! Very yummy & addicitive. I eat it with salsa on romaine leaves. I often have this daily. Though because of the salsa, I find just chili powder is enough to season the walnuts. If you don't have any lettuce leaves, you can make a bowl of this too.

!! I'm gonna make it tonight .. thanks!

I have his book! How could I have overlooked this?! Just made it. It's SO good!

I have his book too, I think that this recipe is part of the tostada recipe on page 156. In that recipe, he also suggests that you use 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder rather than the cayenne pepper. I am going to try that next time.

Gonna make this tonight sans Noma Shoya:)

Corn Tortillas
12 ears corn
1/4 yellow pepper
1/4 orange pepper
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup soaked sun dried tomatoes
2 T sprouted flax seeds
2 t cumin
2 t sea salt
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Cut the corn off the cob. Put all the kernels in a bowl of water and let sit for about 10 minutes and drain. Put all the ingredients in the food proccessor and process for about 2 minutes. You want it a little soupy. Spread the mixture onto a non-stick sheet and dehydrate for about an hour or two. Flip it onto the screen and dehydrate overnight. It should come out nice and crispy. If you find holes in the chip after the flip, you can fill them in with some more batter. This recipe made 3 sheets (11x11).

oh my goodness this is really good!

I made some "meat" with chili powder and another batch with fajita seasonings!! I put the chili "meat" in my salad for lunch today and it really looks like ground meat... and the taste? mmmm.

thank you!

[RawVegan4Health]

I made a small batch of this yesterday. It was delicious!:)

[CaliRaw]

OMG! That looks sooooo good! So, this is the recipe I keep reading about?!

Corn Tortillas
12 ears corn


About how much would this be in cups? I usually just eat my corn on the cob right off the cob since it's so good that way. I would probably use frozen corn for this recipe.

[SmilingRawDancer]

I think I'll try the "meat" with cauliflower and some avocado pulse chopped....

[Eveleaf]

Oh Lordy!!

*dies*

I did not expect this to be so good. Here's what I used (sorry, no measurements, but I used a liberal amount of everything)

Walnuts, soaked, with some of the soak water
Lemon juice
Garlic
Nama Shoya
Cumin
Chili Powder


I am absolutely going to play around with a taco shell recipe now so I can make tacos for my SAD friends! They will never believe this stuff is just walnuts!:D

[diali36]

wow, this one I've got to try. Thanks all for the suggestions.

[codajess]

I ran out of walnuts and I haven't let myself buy anymore nuts until i finish up the thousand pounds of all the assorted ones I have now, so I tried making it with almonds. Ok that gets a big fat YUCK. :o

[rawererin]

how long does this last in the refrig- I'm the only raw person in my house

[raweater]

Gonna make this tonight sans Noma Shoya:)
Nama shoyu is what makes it stick togheter like ground meat. Add the same amount of water if you omit it. I also noticed the recipe posted here says soaked walnuts while the original is unsoaked, so you may not need to add water if you used soaked nuts.

[tglasco4]

I can't look at that pic too long or I will eat the screen:p When I get done with this fast (in 5 days), that will definitely be on the menu.

THANK YOU....


Peace....

The recipe is under the thread "spicy taco meat", as of this post, it was the second from the top. Anyway, there are 2 different recipes and a different verson for the recipe you are talking about. Instead of using 1 cup of walnuts, she used 1/2 cup walnuts and 1/2 cup zucchini to lighten it up.
