Non+Tuna+Pate


 * Non Tuna Pate** ½ cup raw soaked sunflower seeds-soak for 6 to 8 hours in a mason jar filled with cold water, with the lid screwed on

½ cup raw soaked almonds-soak for 8 to 12 hours in a mason jar filled with cold water, with the lid screwed on

2 tablespoons water

1 ½ tablespoons minced celery

1 tablespoon minced onion

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

Place the sunflower seeds, almonds, and water in a food processor fitted with an S blade and process into a paste (My food processor wouldn’t process it to a paste. I finally had to transfer the mixture to my blender. I think my processor bowl is too big for such small amounts). Stop occasionally to scrape the sides of the processor bowl with a rubber spatula. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl, stir in all the other ingredients. Store for up to 5 days in a covered container in the fridge.

For "Not Salmon Pate", add 1/4 cup grated carrot to the food processor along with the almonds and sunflower seeds. Instead of parsley, add 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill weed or 1 tablespoon dried dill weed. (I haven’t tried this, yet, but it sounds good.)
