This is a recipe my sis and me came up with as a quick and healthy dip for a busy weeknight. It is creamy and has a lovely fresh taste from the bell pepper, while the roasted sunflower seeds add a great depth of flavour. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients:
1/3 cup sunflower seeds, shelled (organic preferred) |
1/2 large red bell pepper, diced |
80 g feta cheese, diced (fat-reduced is fine) |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (optional) |
black pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat a frying pan til quite hot. Dont add any oil or fat.
2. When the pan is hot add in the sunflower seeds and roast them for a few minutes until they start to brown. They will smell roasty when theyre ready and have a nice brown shimmer.
3. Set aside.
4. In a high rimmed bowl combine feta cheese, garlic powder, bell pepper and rosemary if using. Add sunflower seeds. Puree using a hand held blender until it has a nice creamy consistency. There will still be chunks, but thats ok.
5. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
6. Enjoy!
