Blend brazil nuts into a fine meal in your food processor and put aside in a bowl.

Blend the sunflower seeds to a fine meal. Add the rest of the ingredients including the ground brazil nuts and blend until a smooth but thick paste forms. Be sure to scrape down the side as often as you need to and be careful not to stress your food processor because it’s such a thick, earthy paste.

Once all the ingredients are blended together, spoon the paté onto a platter and form into a flat square shape or whatever takes your fancy. You can use your hands at first to get the basic shape right, then use the flat edge of a knife or spatula to smooth it off. Garnish with herb sprigs, a drizzle of oil and black sesame seeds or cracked pepper.

Serve with your favourite gluten free crackers. Something simple works best as the paté has such a full, rich flavor.
