Ideally, soak the sunflower seeds overnight. If you’re short on time, you can also pour boiling water over them and set aside for at least 1-2 hours. Drain the soaked sunflower seeds and place them in a tall, narrow container along with all the other ingredients. Using a hand blender, thoroughly blend until smooth. Transfer the spread to a suitable container with a lid and leave to sit in the refrigerator, ideally overnight, to intensify the flavor. The spread will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week. Additional notes: You can experiment with different spices and ingredients, such as tomato paste instead of mustard, fresh herbs, pesto, jalapeños, sun-dried tomatoes, ginger, garlic, mango, papaya, lemon zest, coconut, etc. The base always remains sunflower seeds and oil. A little mustard improves the emulsion. If necessary, the consistency can be adjusted with a little liquid or mashed potato powder.
