Chewy and Meaty Einkorn Nuggets | Whole Food Vegan

Venelina Dove M.D.
Super delicious vegan einkorn nuggets from whole natural plant foods.


Einkorn is an ancient wheat, very low in gluten and high in phytonutrients.
The whole wheat berries give a chewy and somewhat meaty mouthfeel. They taste like real nuggets while being a whole lot better for you!

Ingredients
 

  • 9 ounces (250 g) einkorn wheat berries, soaked
  • 3 ounces (80 g) raw sunflower seeds
  • 3 tbsp ground flax seeds
  • 1 onion
  • 1 small carrot
  • ¼ bunch parsley
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp savory
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Soak the einkorn wheat in plenty of water for 12 hours. Drain and rinse it.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C ( 350°F).
  • Place all ingredients in a food processor, add ½ cup of water and pulse until finely chopped.
  • The mixture has to be with a thick and sticky texture.
  • Using wet hands, take about one full tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a nugget.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the nuggets.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.

Notes

  • We prefer to sprout the einkorn wheat for another 12-24  hours. It becomes softer and flavorful.
  • If the mixture is too loose to form the nuggets, you can add 1
    tablespoon of whole wheat flour or chickpea flour. More ground flax
    seeds will do as well as they soak the liquid.
  • You can also prepare the nuggets in a pan. Place them on a heated
    pan without any oil. Flip them around to cook from all sides. They are
    ready for about 3-4 min, be careful not to burn them.
