Equivalent to peanut butter

First, roast the sunflower seeds in a large pan, stirring occasionally, taking care not to overcook them and make them bitter. Then let them cool. Finely grind them using a blender or hand blender. Next, add the oil, salt, and honey and blend or puree everything thoroughly again. If the mixture is still too dry or crumbly, simply add a little more oil. Season to taste and add more salt or honey if desired. A great alternative to peanut butter, whether as a spread, a sauce base (satay sauce, peanut sauce), or for baked goods and desserts. It will keep in the refrigerator for a few weeks, but will then firm up a bit.
