**Sunflower seed pâté**: a creamy, nutty spread made from roasted sunflower seeds, sunflower oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs. It's a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that can be served on crackers, bread, or vegetables. This recipe is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile. If you are vegan, you can substitute olive oil for the butter. For a gluten-free option, serve the pâté with gluten-free crackers or bread.
**Roasted Garlic Sunflower Seed Pâté**: This classic recipe uses roasted garlic to add a deep, savory flavor to the pâté. The roasted garlic is blended with sunflower seeds, sunflower oil, lemon juice, and herbs to create a smooth and creamy spread.
**Lemon Herb Sunflower Seed Pâté**: This recipe adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the pâté with the addition of lemon zest and juice. Fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, and thyme add an extra layer of flavor and color.
**Spicy Sunflower Seed Pâté**: This recipe is for those who like a little heat in their food. A combination of chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper gives this pâté a spicy kick.
**Avocado Sunflower Seed Pâté**: This recipe adds avocado to the pâté for a creamy, rich texture. The avocado also adds a healthy dose of monounsaturated fats.
SUNFLOWER & POTATO HERB PATE (VEGAN)
A delicious veg*n pate made in B.C. comes from Hornby Island Pate Co. This is my version, inspired by their Herb variety. It's super easy to make, very similar to this version from the book ExtraVeganZa: Recipe #287199. You more or less throw everything into the food processor, blend until smooth and then bake. Delicious in sandwiches or served with crackers. You can bake this in a loaf tin, or something slightly larger such as an 8x8 square which would make it easy to cut into squares and freeze.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Oil or line a loaf tin. It can be tricky to get out so I like to use parchment at least on the bottom.
- Place all ingredients except the topping into a food processor and blend until a uniform consistency. It won't be smooth like batter, but the pieces will be very small and everything will be incorporated. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Spoon into prepared loaf tin and smooth out as best you can. Top with sprinkles of more dried basil and sesame seeds.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 5-10 minutes before you try to turn it out of the pan. Nice served at room temperature or cold.

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.
Tips:
- To ensure the smoothest texture, make sure to soak the sunflower seeds overnight or for at least 4 hours before blending.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender instead. Just be sure to blend the ingredients in batches and be careful not to over-process, as this can make the pâté too runny.
- Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking. You can add more garlic, lemon juice, or salt and pepper to taste.
- For a richer flavor, you can toast the sunflower seeds before blending them. To do this, spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Serve the sunflower pâté with crackers, bread, or vegetables. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or as a dip for chips.
Conclusion:
Sunflower pâté is a delicious and versatile spread that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a healthy snack or a unique appetizer, sunflower pâté is sure to please.
