Wheat (Grain) Free Kishka

ב"ה

I decided to make some easy to eat food to put in the freezer for later on. So I was thinking yesterday about how I could make vegan kishke that I could eat with my current "nuts, non-starchy vegetables, pea protein, herbal tea, stevia" and pretty much nothing else diet. I realize that people who are allergic or sensitive to nuts can't eat most of these recipes, but I can't eat much of anything else.

Anyway, I made some "flax eggs" [note added 4/22/2020: if you, like me right now, can't eat flax, you can substitute ground chia seeds cup for cup, or should I say 1/4 cup for 1/4 cup]-- 1/4 cup ground flax seeds with 3/4 cup of (filtered) water -- and whirred it together in a food processor -- then I added 1- 1 1/2 cups loosely measured coarse shredded carrots (I used a mix of three different colors of carrots) and whirred some more. Earlier, I had minced up 4-6 cloves of garlic (I leave the garlic for 1/2 hour before I cook with it) then, after about 15 minutes, I sliced up 3 scallions, greens and all and sauteed them in a tablespoon red palm oil (you can use coconut oil also) with 1 1/2 teaspoon of my spice mix (I use a mixture of many spices that I mix myself) and 1/8 teaspoon (or to taste) pink or sea salt. I also soaked a handful of dried mixed mushrooms (broken into smaller pieces) and strained them and put them in with the scallions. After the half hour of waiting was up, I added the garlic.

After the scallions, mushrooms and garlic cooked through and cooled a bit, I added them to the "flax eggs" with the mushroom soaking water. I whirred it around and put it in a mixing bowl. To this, I added 1/2 cup each of unflavored pea protein, almond "flour" (meal) and hazelnut "flour" (meal). I mixed that all together (with a spoon and my hands as needed).

I put the "dough" into parchment lined aluminum foil and rolled them like a tube and twisted the ends (parchment paper inside the foil) and baked them at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes.
