Ingredients
- 1 cup raw sunflower seeds soaked*
- 1 cup raw hemp hearts
- ¼ cup fresh dill chopped
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp cold-pressed oil olive oil, or argan oil
- 2 tbsp red onions or scallions chopped
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar unpasteurised
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until paste-like. If using a food processor you may need to scrape the sides down while blending to ensure the mixture is smooth.
- Find a small bowl, around 4 to 5" in diameter. Line it with a cheesecloth, or clingwrap. Place the blended pate mixture in the cheesecloth-lined bowl and smooth out the top with a knife. Let it set in the fridge for about 30 minutes to solidify.
- When ready, turn bowl upside down on a serving plate until pate is released.
- Serve with whole-grain crackers or sliced cucumber. Store in a container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
*Option to soak sunflower seeds for 6 hours prior to use. The recipe will taste just as good if you didn't have a chance to soak the seeds, though you may need to blend the mixture for longer.
