Sunflower seed pate

Babiche Martens

This sunflower seed pate is one of my absolute favourites. Made in five minutes this is frequently on the menu at home. The texture is a little coarse and it goes well with crisp vegetables and crackers — and a glass of wine or cold beer. Or, use it as a base for a wholegrain bread sandwich.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups	Sunflower seeds, plus extra to garnish (Main)
1	Garlic clove
1 tsp	Lemon zest
2 Tbsp	Lemon juice
½ tsp	Ground cumin
2 Tbsp	Olive oil
2 Tbsp	Greek yoghurt
¼ tsp	Salt and pepper, to taste
1 small handful	Microgreens, to garnish
