Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Roasted unsalted pistachios
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by toasting the raw sunflower seeds. Place them in a dry skillet over medium heat and stir frequently for about 5 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the toasted sunflower seeds and roasted unsalted pistachios. Pulse until they are finely ground, resembling a coarse meal.
Step 3
Add the olive oil, honey, salt, and lemon juice to the food processor.
Step 4
Begin blending the mixture until it starts to come together. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add water while blending, starting with 1/4 cup and adding more as needed until you achieve your desired creamy consistency.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or honey if desired to fit your taste preference.
Step 6
Transfer the creamy pistachio spread to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Step 7
Allow the spread to come to room temperature before serving for easier spreading and more enhanced flavors.
