**because most of these hors d’oeuvres are made with coconut oil, they are best stored in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain their shape.
oh goodness, is this the treat you brought to om time that night? holy smokes, can’t wait to make these! hmmm, maybe it’s not, didn’t you say there was lime juice in there? maybe i’m mixed up. either way, YUM! and thank you, jessica!
it’s the bhakti bomb you’re looking for and they haven’t been posted just yet but are on their way, so stay tuned!
okay, i’m tuned in. 🙂
yahoooooo!
OOOOoooo! I mean OOOhhhhhh. Thank you for sharing Lady P.
They are like flavorful nitro in your mouth (if I remember correct). I can’t wait to make them! ; )
you remember correctly and once you make them it will be just like hearts and hips happened in your very own home!
so…if no dehydrator, how to prepare the buckwheat for the bhakti bombs?
good question kari, with the summer heat you might get away with putting the buckwheat outside to catch some sun and let it dry naturally. i’ve heard of others placing an oven on its lowest setting and cracking the door to let the air circulate to create the dehydrator. i’ve also heard of preheating the oven, once preheated turn it off and place the buckwheat inside. repeat that process until the buckwheat is dry. although neither option it totally energy efficient it will keep your foods alive. let me know how it goes!
