Date-Cardamom-Cashew-Blobs recipe Good one Chelsea

[Guest guest]

Here's a favorite of mine. Uses cardamom, cashews,

coconut and dates! All 4 of my favorites together.

I use 5 cardamom pods and these are nippy good!

Hope the other measurements help Christie!

 

Date-Cardamom-Cashew Blobs

 

Spicy, unique flavor in a flash.

 

1 cup (250 mL) lightly toasted cashew pieces

cardamom seeds from two to four pods or 1/8 to 1/4 tsp (0.5-1 mL) powdered

1 cup (250 mL) finely chopped dates

finely grated peel of one organic orange

1/2 cup dried coconut, toasted and then powdered in blender

 

Chop cashews fairly fine (the blender chops them too fine). Remove cardamom from

pods and grind with a mortar and pestle or between two spoons. Combine cashews

and cardamom in a bowl with dates and orange peel. Knead mixture with fingertips

until uniform, then roll in one inch (2.5 cm) balls and coat with coconut. Makes

18 blobs.

Hi Donna

I am planning on making these tomorrow. They call for toasted

coconut. How would you do that? Would dry frying it like sesame

seeds or nuts work?

TIA
