Ingredients
- 2Cups Raw Walnuts(unsalted)
- 1lb. Cauliflower flourets
- 3Medium Garlic ClovesMinced or pressed
- 2TBSP Low Sodium Tamari
- 1TBSP Chili Powder
- 1 & 1/4TBSP Ground Cumin
- 1tsp Oregano
- 1tsp Paprika
- 1/2tsp Onion Powder
- 1/4tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 3/4tsp Black Pepper
- 2tsp Marmite(optional – will give it a little meatier taste but it is hard to find in the U.S. and has salt))
Instructions
- Add 2 cups of walnuts to food processor and chop until you have small particles (see picture), remove from food processor and place in mixing bowl.
- Add 1 lb. of cauliflower florets to food processor and chop until you have small particles that are smaller than ‘riced’ cauliflower, (see picture), put in bowl with walnuts.
- Add ALL other ingredients into cauliflower/walnut mixture and mix thoroughly with your hand, squishing the mixture together until well mixed. If your mixture is not sticking together well, add another 1/2 TBSP tamari.
- Place mixture on a baking sheet with parchment paper, keeping it pushed together and loaf like so that it is 3/4 inch thick.
- Bake in oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and turn mixture over and slightly brake apart, and then bake for an additional 15 minutes. When it comes out of the oven, it looks and tastes just like taco meat! If there seems to be too much moisture (and depends on oven temperature), you may want to break it apart a little more and bake an additional 5 minutes.
- A quick note on Marmite: It is readily available in the UK but difficult to find in the US. Is CAN be ordered on Amazon, I would suggest ordering more than one when you do!
