Course Snack
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 and 1/2 cups boiling water
  • 3/4 cup parsley stems removed
  • 1/4 to 1/2 jalapeno ribs and seeds removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • zest of 1/2 a lemon
  • juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Pour boiling water over the sunflower seeds--allow to sit for a half hour (or simply soak the seeds in room temperature water overnight).
  2. Drain water away, then combine the sunflower seeds and the rest of the ingredients in a blender.
  3. Blend until smooth; taste and adjust seasonings if need be (especially the jalapeno, you want this spread to have a nick kick to it).
  4. Spread upon what you desire, a wrap, a piece of meat, maybe dilute with more lemon juice for a vinaigrette to toss with salads, or dip some vegetables straight in. Whatever vessel pleases you.
