I was trying to make sunflower pate, but that didn’t quite work out … so hummus it is! And I love the pic, you can see my 2 year old’s little fingers in there trying to snatch a carrot. :)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sunflower seeds, soaked
  • 15 baby carrots
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 1 big bunch of cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 large lemon
  • 2 tablespoons cumin
  • salt
  • flax seeds, [optional]

Preparation

Process sunflower seeds, carrots, zucchini, celery, cilantro & garlic in food processor or blender until smooth.

Stir in the juice from the lemon, cumin & salt [to taste].

Let chill for a bit.

Before serving I stirred in more sunflower seeds, some flax seeds & topped with some minced cilantro.

My carrot snatchin’ 2 year old approved.

:)
