Nutmeat (or super good sundried tomato pate)
Makes about 2 cups? Don't know, it never lasts very long!
This is great as a burrito filling. It is hearty and filling, with a rich oil flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups walnuts
- 1 cup sun dried tomatoes, soaked 4 hours
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons nama shoyu or Braggs
- ¼ cup olive oil
Preparation
Place all ingredients into your food processor and blend until it forms a ball, or a semi-smooth pate. Eat away! This is good wrapped up in a romaine leaf, like a burrito.

With an entire cup of olive oil, I’m not surprised it has a “rich oil flavor.” :)

Oops, not supposed to be one full cup – only 1/4 a cup!!!!

You’re right it is “Rawsome”!

I made this last night and it was amazing! It was exactly what I was craving. I didn’t soak the sundried tomatos for 4 hours because I wanted to eat it sooner than later but it still came out wonderful. I made “tacos” with these by using romane lettue leafs, sprouts, shredded carrot and ginger. YUM! Thanks for the recipe. This is definitely going to be one of my staples from now on.

I’m not 100% raw yet so I made this and topped with shredded carrots and lettuce and wrapped it in the Fat Flush tortilla shells and they made GREAT burritos! One of my top faves so far from this site!

Also have been a ‘veg’ for over 10 years, but new to the raw experience. This recipe was fantastic!! This was even a hit with my husband, who is not even a ‘veg’ and still gets that scared look on his face sometimes when I say I’m trying something new for dinner (and poor guy, it’s often!). Thanks!

Wondering if when you say raw you mean you do not cook it afterwards? I know raw food and know they are good but see so much here with a dehydrater which I do not own. Do you ever just “heat” it up some? That vege meat made with walnuts, I have had that before but did it in the oven to make it easy to keep (a dehydrator may work) then you soak it in water before you use it. But I cook it like meat in a pan because it taste better in tacos to me. Ideas? All your recipes look great and thank you, just wondering if you are all just really eating things without any warmth to them. :-) Sandy

‘sundried tomato pate’ sounds so much more appetizing ~thank you!

I just ate this for dinner! I spread it evenly over different kinds of lettuce (from my garden!) and put parsley in the lettuce then rolled each leaf up like a spiral. I really liked it and so did my friend who I gave a few bites too.

Is there anything else I could use besides olive oil, watching my fat content. Thanks

I’m munching on this right now, taste wonderful. I used almonds and added hemp oil, flax oil, olive oil, and ground flax seeds. Very good. Thanks

I made this last week and used it in romaine leaf burritos and in tostados. It was absolutely fabulous and SO easy. I only had time to soak the sun dried tomatoes for about an hour and it still turned out fine – though I knew it would have benefited from a longer soak. Thanks, skyespice, for the post. This recipe it sure to be a staple in my house.

Has anyone tried this with a different type of nut? If so, what kind of nut did you use and what was the result? Thanks.

It’s absolutly wonderful! I just added a little more garlic. Even my husband who is a meat lover was eating away with a big smile!
