Ingredients for the Vegan Herb Spread
200 g sunflower seeds
250 ml water
1 bunch of parsley
1 handful of chives
1 onion
1 clove of garlic
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. canola oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 pinch of pepper
Preparation of the Vegan Herb Spread
Step 1
First, soak the sunflower seeds in 250 ml of water for several hours.roughly and cut them into small cubes. Then wash the chives and cut them into fine rolls.
Step 2
Finely dice the onion and garlic and sauté them briefly in 1 tablespoon of canola oil.
Step 3
Pour the water off the sunflower seeds and put them in a blender with the rest of the ingredients except the herbs. Blend until you get a creamy consistency.
Step 4
Season the spread with salt and pepper and then add the finely chopped herbs.
Tip:
Prepare the vegan herb spread early, so that it can soak well in the refrigerator. You can also stir different herbs such as wild garlic, dill and coriander or spring onions into your vegan herb spread. The spread will keep for several days in the refrigerator – depending on the ingredients, the aroma can gain in intensity.
1 thought on “Healthy Recipes: Vegan Herb Spread”
The recipe overall looks healthy and delicious. I’m wondering though, why you specifically put canola oil in as an ingredient? That is a terrible oil for health, usually is GMO and very inflammatory. Avocado or olive oil would be better for health….just saying.
