-5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
-1 teaspoon salt
-3 to 4 big garlic cloves
METHOD
-soak the seeds 4 to 6 hours in enough water to cover (about 1 1/4 cup).
-with a food processor, blend soaked sunflowers seeds and other ingredients until smooth.
VARIATION
-try other seeds or nuts (pumpkin seeds, almonds) mixed with sunflower seeds.
DECORATION
-raw black sesame seeds
-soaked sunflower seeds
-chia seeds
-gomasio (grind 5 tablespoons black sesame with 1 tablespoon sea salt, in a coffee grinder)
HINT
Freeze the remaining lemon juice by tablespoon, in a ice tray, for the next time.
