Lebanese Savory Boulettes

I have to give credit to a CNE peer to inspire me for this a new recipe. As most of you know, I'm in love with the concept of round-bite-size-sweets, and when I came across Rachel's Addictive Pizza Poppers I knew I had to try and give them a personal twist! So here's my version!

What you'll need:

For the base
1 cup of almonds
1/4 cup soaked sunflower seeds
3 tb. spoons of Tahini
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes
2 tb. spoons of Olive Oil
2 tb. spoons of Za'atar, a spice mix you can find at your Spice Market, made of sumac, thyme, roasted sesame seeds, marjoram and oregano
A generous pinch of Fleur de Sel (or Sea Salt)
Black and Hot Pepper to taste

For the coating
1/4 cup of raw cashews
1 pinch of sea salt
Black and Hot Pepper to taste
1 tb. spoon of nutritional yeast (optional)

A few easy steps
For the base
Put in the almonds in the food processor and process until they turn into a coarse powder.
Add the other ingredients and mix until they get a dough-like consistency.
Use a spoon to measure equal amount of dough to roll with your hands!
Roll them all and then move onto the coating.

For the coating
Mix all ingredients together until they reach a powder consistency.
Pour in a bowl and throw in one ball at a time that you'll shake around until fully coated.
That's it, now you just have to serve it as an appetizer, as a side or as your protein in a nice summer salad plate as below!
 
PS: If you are feeling adventurous, here's what you'll need to make your own Za'atar,
Just mix the following together:
1/4 cup sumac
2 tb. spoon thyme
1 tb. spoon roasted sesame seeds
2 tb. spoons marjoram
2 tb. spoons oregano
1 tb. spoon sea salt
