Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Combine the sunflower seeds and pressed or finely minced garlic in a food processor till crumbly, just slightly chopped. If you have a mini-food processor, it's terrific here!
  2. Add the parsley and thyme and blend to make it sort of pasty. With the processor still going, drizzle in the oil, and add the salt and pepper. Add a little water to achieve a creamier consistency.
  3. Freezes very well. Use like basil pesto. I especially like this thinly spread on bread, with tahini and lemin juice.
