Got this one off my old Grammy. She brought it over from the old country. The recipe's origins lie in medieval times, I believe.
- Cut a small triangular notch in the packet of sunflower seeds, so that they pour out freely. A sharp scissors is best.
- Pour them into your mouth until there are too many to chew comfortably.
- Chew uncomfortably.
- Repeat every time you enter the kitchen until packet is empty.
you can add them to any curry, make a soup, combine them with cereals (whether as energy bar type stuff, or like in a hot oatmeal, or a parfait or whatever)
you can add them to egg dishes like omelettes or quiche.
uhh.... idk. its an ingredient. you can do anything with it you like. does it seem like sunflower seeds would taste okay in that thing? add em!
Got a decent food processor?
Add a bit of water/oil to a half cup or a cup and see if you can get something chopped up kinda small and clumpy like when green lentils are cooked.
Idea 1: Use that as a base for seed based patty. (Finely chopped onions, bell peppers, some seasonings, a binder of some kind (shredded cheese, a small egg or egg substitute) if the patty seems crumbly. Cook long enough to get the outside as crispy/black as you like and/or the egg has a few minutes to cook.
Idea 2: If unseasoned, you can mix some quantity into some hot water to make a gruel/oatmeal type of thing. Change amount of water to alter thickness of gruel.
Idea 3: If the sunflower seed meal is kinda dry and crumbly after going through the food processor, you might be able to use it the same way as graham crackers in some pie recipes. Cut in some butter or chilled coconut oil and them smash it evenly into the bottom of a pie pan about 1/4 inch thick and add the pie filling on top.
Idea 4: As a base for some pemican type meal/snack thing. Might need to add a touch of some oil that is solid at room temp or keep cold before eating.
Roast them with salt and go Agent Mulder on them. It's a favourite snack in Eastern Europe
