Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw sunflower seeds
• 2 medium Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley leaves (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 medium Garlic clove (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast

Directions

Step 1

Place the raw sunflower seeds in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let them soak for 15 minutes to soften.

Step 2

Meanwhile, peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks. Place them in a medium pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 3

Drain the sunflower seeds and the cooked potatoes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a food processor or blender, combine the sunflower seeds, cooked potatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, dill, garlic, salt, black pepper, nutritional yeast, and water.

Step 5

Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add a little more water (1 tablespoon at a time) if the mixture is too thick to blend easily.

Step 6

Taste the pâté and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

Step 7

Transfer the pâté to a serving dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Garnish with additional chopped herbs if desired.

Step 8

Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers, fresh bread, or sliced vegetables.
