Sunflower Pate
As I try to eat more raw, I’ve started to play around with some recipes. This is one that was inspired by one of the dishes at Nature Boy, one of my favorite restaurants which is now closed. 
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp bragg liquid aminos
2 tbsp raw tahini
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 scallions, chopped
2 tbsp red onion, chopped
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
dash cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1. Soak sunflower seeds for 12 hours. Drain and sprout for about 4 hours. Then thoroughly rinse and drain again.
2. Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until the mixture is a smooth paste.
3. Adjust seasoning if needed. Yields 2 cups.
This is very delicious as a dip for raw veggies or in a salad.

Sounds good, but come on, vegan AND raw? How many more limitations can you impose on your diet!? Next will it be only foods with no vowels in their names!? ;-P
thank you so much that was freaking awesome
I had most of it with Stacey’s chips and it was awesome combination.
hope you are feeling better, thanks for the recipe!
Mmmm! Looks good!
Ted, and anyone like him, should try the raw food diet for a week and see how fabulous it feels. Check out the Kirlean photos in Gabriel Cousens’ books of broccoli before and after cooking. There’s a big difference between eating live or dead food…
This was a great pate – thank you! I must admit that before I even tasted it, I added enough raw agave nectar to balance the flavor (I learned this in some raw classes I took) – excellent! This will definitely be a staple food.
I’m glad you liked it ! Good tip about agave. We add it to some of our raw dishes. Will have to try it in this pate. Thanks !
