1 cup walnuts, finely processed in processer or finely chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons Dijon or seeded mustard
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tsp grated ginger
¼ cup tahini
½ cup fresh herbs, finely chopped (parsley, chives and/or oregano work well)

Method:

1. Fry the onion in a frypan and then add the carrot and stir through before turning off the stove.
2. Process or chop the walnuts.
3. Mix all ingredients together.
4. Roll into balls and coat with sesame and seeds.
