I thought I would post some raw recipes here, since I am assuimg people looking at veg recipes will be most interested in raw vegan recipes

Name of Recipe:Honey Sesame delights
Number of People:depends how much you like them!

2tsp vanilla extract
2-4 Tblspns unfiltered, unpasteurised honey to taste


Preparation: blend seeds on speed 10 for 1 min or until they form a paste.  You may need to scrape down the sides a couple of times
add vanilla and honey and blend on speed 7 for a few seconds to combine
scoop out heaped teaspoons and mould into balls (you can also set it as a slice in a square slice tin, then cut once it has cooled and 'set' in the fridge)

Made these yesterday.
Next time i would use unhulled sesame seeds as even with the huge amount of honey it was almost unedible due to bitterness.
I would also not wizz the seeds so much and leave them partially whole.
Instead of rolling balls i rolled it flat between the silpat to make a slice. Hoping that is would seed hard like the comercial sesame snaps. But unfortunatly it was still very soft so was hard to cut into squares with out it breaking up.

Might try them again some time with unhulled seeds and see if i like it more.

Just wonder if the sesame seeds were rancid?  The unhulled will be MORE bitter.

Maybe dry roast them gently first?

quite possible, have had them for awhile and made these to use them up. They didnt taste or smell stale thought.

Yes, they are a soft, chewy texture and you need hulled sesame seeds
