Gluten-free Sunflower Patties

1 cup sunflower seeds

1 cup fine chopped celery

2 eggs

¼ cup fine chopped onion

¼ cup fine chopped parsley

½ cup grated carrot

¼ cup tomato paste

Salt to taste

Oil for frying

Grind about half the sunflower seeds in a coffee grinder or similar device.

Roughly chop the remaining sunflower seeds (a nut chopper is great for doing this).

Mix all ingredients together.

Drop tablespoonfuls into hot oil and fry slowly being careful not to burn. (The tomato paste in the patties tends to go black quickly)

Serve hot or cold.

Vegan Sour Cream

1 cup cashews, soaked for a few hours

¼ cup cold water

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

¼ tsp salt

Pour water off cashews.

Add delegated water and other ingredients.

Blend for 3 to 4 minutes or until smooth.

Test by taste – may need a little lemon juice added.
