Sunflower Shoot Spread

INGREDIENTS

• Sunflower shoots (tender) – 2 cups, with stems

• Sunflower seeds – 2 tbsp., soaked in water for 15-20 minutes

• Cashew nuts – 4-5, more if you would like it more creamy

• Nutritional yeast flakes – 2 tbsp. (or as per taste)

• Sea salt – to taste

• Water – just enough to blitz and bring the mix to a spreadable consistency

• 
  

INSTRUCTIONS

Place in a chutney grinder with the sunflower seeds, cashew nuts, a little salt and water.  Blitz till creamy or textural, as per your liking.  Spoon the mix from the sides and blitz again till the required consistency is reached.

Remove into a bowl, add the nutritional yeast flakes, and adjust the salt and water. A drizzle of extra virgin olive would not hurt.  Some crispy capers or a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds are very tasty too.
