1 cup raw organic sunflower seeds (or more)
2 tablespoons tahini
1 small garlic clove (optional)
1 -2 lemon, juice and zest of
1 pinch cayenne
sea salt, to taste
extra virgin olive oil (maybe a tablespoon)

1
Soak a cup or more of organic, raw sunflower seeds overnight. Drain, and rinse until the water runs clear. Drain well and leave undisturbed, covered loosely. I use a quart mason jar, covered with a coffee filter.
2
In another 8 - 12 hours, rinse and drain. Repeat. When you have the beginnings of little tails, transfer to the fridge to slow down growth. Now they're ready to use!
3
Take a cup or two of sprouts and add to food processor. Add a couple spoonfuls of tahini - raw or lightly roasted is fine. If you like garlic, add a small clove, minced. Add a splash or two of lemon juice and some lemon zest, a glug of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt and some cayenne. Process until smooth.
4
Add a couple spoonfuls of nutritional yeast if you like nooch, and blend inches Season to taste.
5
Add anything else you like - it's good with cumin, more cayenne, paprika, some roasted red peppers, more lemon, cilantro, whatever you like!
6
Serve garnished with olive oil and paprika.
7
Great over spinach salad, or with carrots and celery to dip.
