Spicy Sunflower Seed Paté - Dairy-free!

We are hearing a lot about the goodness of sunflower seeds. If you are trying to find interesting ways to use sunflower seeds then you must try this dip. Its dairy- free, nut –free and oil free and yet really so creamy.
I’ve used smoked chili and diced onions to give it a different taste. I was surprised at how good it tastes.
Paté is a French word that means, paste.
Ingredients
- Sunflower seeds: 1/3 cup
- Green chilli: 1 cm piece
- Lime juice: 1-2 tbsp
- Rock salt: to taste
- Red chilli: 1 no
- Coriander leaves/ cerely stalk: 1 tbsp (chopped)
- Onion: 1 tbsp (very finely chopped)
Method
- Soak sunflower seeds in enough water for about two hours.
- Burn red chilli over direct flame and allow to cool.
- Drain sunflower seeds and place them in a blender with green chilli, lime juice and salt and blend until smooth.
- Add water only as little as needed to get a smooth paste.
- Transfer to a bowl and add chopped coriander leaves and diced onions.
- Crush the burnt chilli onto the dip.
- Serve as a dip with vegetable sticks or fill capsicum wedges with the seed paste and enjoy.
Wellcure Tip:
- You can skip burning the chilli and just use chilli flakes instead.
- Add diced onions just before serving as it helps to retain the crunch.
Eating Guide:
- Food group: Seeds
- Seeds are natural source of fats and are easily broken down by the body. Consuming seeds provides valuable nutrients as well as makeup for our body’s need for fats.
- Nuts and seeds are best consumed after soaking.
