1 Put all the ingredients except the 1/3 cup sesame seeds for coating in a food processor. Blend until fine and paste-like.

2 Using lightly oiled hands, roll the mixture into walnut-size balls, then roll in the extra sesame seeds. Chill for at least 15 min to firm up. Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 1 month.

HFG tip

LSA is a mix of ground linseeds, sunflower seeds and almonds.

Experiment with different coatings – try finely chopped almonds or pistachios; desiccated coconut; or cocoa powder. Wrap in cellophane or place in a box for a special gift.
