Number Of Ingredients 10

3 medium cucumbers (half the peel removed with a parer, sliced about 1/2-inch thick)
1 batch Smoky Sunflower Seed Pate (recipe below)
Fresh dill and borage flowers or halved cherry tomatoes for garnish
1 cup raw sunflower seeds (soaked for at least 4 hours)
1/3 cup water
1 medium clove garlic (minced)
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (to taste)
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt + more to taste

Steps:

  • Place sunflower seeds in a medium bowl or jar. Cover with 2 cups of water. Set aside and let soak for at least 4 hours, up to 24 hours.
  • Drain and rinse sunflower seeds. Add seeds to the pitcher of a high-speed blender or (preferred) a food processor fitted with the "S" blade. Add 1/3 cup water, garlic, lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika, 2 tablespoons dill, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Puree until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
  • Set cucumber slices on a platter. Spoon pâté into a zipper bag. Snip the end off and squeeze pate onto the cucumber slices. For a more professional look, use a pastry bag affixed with your favorite tip.
  • Garnish each slice with fresh dill and borage or cherry tomatoes. Serve immediately.
