"Fried Cheddar Cheese Sticks (NOT!)

For Cheese:
1 Jar Raw Tahini (no salt added)
1/2 C. Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 C. Sundried Tomatoes (soaked) *
* if you use the kind that are marinated in olive oil, you don't have to soak them
4 TBS Flax Seed Meal
3 TBS Olive Oil (unless your sundried tomatoes are already in oil.)
3 TBS Ground Mustard
1/4 C. Water (or just enough to help everything to blend smoothly. You don't want to add too much water as you want the cheese to be as firm as possible
1/2 TBS Celtic Sea Salt (to taste. If your sundried tomatoes are already salted, forego adding more salt)
Add any of your favorite fresh herbs i.e. basil, oregano, etc

For Breading:
1/2 C. Flax Seed Meal
1/2 TBS of Celtic Sea Salt
2 TBS Ground Mustard
Any other dried herbs you may like

Mix all of the cheese ingredients in a food processor until blended smoothly.

Take little bits of the cheese mixture and make stick shapes (a la fried cheese sticks) about three inches long, 1/2 inch wide, etc.

Roll each stick in the breading mixture and place all breaded sticks in a dish. Chill uncovered for about an hour. Keep them covered in the refrigerator afterwards if you plan to keep them longer than a day.

* You can also form into one large chees ball and roll into the breading mixture for entertaining

Number of Servings: 16
