Kiełbasa

This raw vegan sausage was a hit in my raw food business in Chicago, Earth’s Healing Cafe. The word kiełbasa is Polish for sausage but it has an Ethiopian flare with berbere spice. We love Ethiopian food so it was only fitting to incorporate that into this delicious dish.

Yields 7 sausages
Each sausage is 266 calories

Ingredients

• 1 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil free)
• 1/2 yellow onion (chopped)
• 1 tsp Berbere powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder or granules
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 2 Medjool dates
• 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt

Add the walnuts and sunflower seeds to a food processor and pulse until ground.

Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix in the food processor until smooth.

We decided to plate it on swiss chard. In the store we originally put it on kale but I think you can use any leafy green you like. You can even crumble it up over salad.

I think sliced red bell pepper and cucumbers would also make great toppings.
