Spicy Garlic Cashew Cream:

Method:

Rissoles

  • Preheat oven to 200°C fan.
  • Put the cashews, peanuts and chickpeas into a food processor. Blitz until it becomes a paste.
  • Add the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and sift in the buckwheat flour.
  • Add the mixture in the food processor and remaining rissole ingredients. Combine well with your hands.
  • Roll the mixture into balls and set aside. It is easier to roll with slightly wet hands, lightly throwing between both hands.

Crunchy Outer Layer

  • Put each ingredient in its own shallow bowl. You will have three bowls in total.
  • First roll the balls in the flour, then into the egg and lastly the breadcrumbs.
  • In a large fry pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and bring to a medium- high heat.
  • Carefully place the balls in the pan and shallow fry. After a few minutes, flip and continue to fry. They are done when each side is golden and crispy.
  • Repeat the process for the remaining balls. Put the balls on a medium baking tray and cook for a further 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven.
  • Serve hot with spicy garlic cashew cream, lemon wedges and micro herbs.

Spicy Garlic Cashew Cream

  • Place the cashews in a medium bowl. Cover with boiling water and leave to soak for 10 minutes. Once soaked, strain the water and wash the cashews well.
  • In a high-speed blender, add the cashews, coconut cream, lemon juice and zest, chilli, garlic, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika and salt.
  • Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary. If you’re having trouble blending the mixture, add a small amount of coconut cream.
  • Once blended, transfer to a jar. It keeps in the fridge for up to 7 days. It will thicken in the fridge.
  • Before use, pull out for 10 minutes to bring to room temperature.
