Chicken Balls
Grease a baking tray with coconut oil.
Add all the ingredients except for the chicken and mushrooms to a food processor and blitz to form a paste. Now add in the chicken and mushrooms and blitz again until roughly chopped.
Roll the mixture into about 12 small balls and bake for about 12 minutes or until cooked through.
Pesto
Pound the basil, raw cashew nuts and pulp from three of the roasted garlic cloves in a pestle and mortar. Gradually add the olive oil until it reaches the desired texture. Add the parmesan.
