Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 1 cup Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Oil (coconut or avocado)
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until they resemble coarse crumbs, being careful not to over-process into a paste.
Add the cauliflower florets to the food processor and pulse again until the mixture resembles ground meat.
Transfer the walnut and cauliflower mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the apple cider vinegar, oil, and water to the bowl, and mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly coated and the mixture takes on a slightly sticky texture.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chorizo mixture in an even layer.
Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes browned and slightly crispy in spots.
Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary. Serve immediately as a filling or topping, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
