A smooth, mild sunflower seed spread made with cooked millet and coconut flakes — suitable as a savory topping or soft cheese alternative.

Ingredients

  • 1 dl (⅖ cup) millet
  • 5 dl (2 cups) water
  • 2 tsp herb salt or Himalayan salt
  • 1 dl (⅖ cup) sunflower seeds
  • 1 dl (⅖ cup) coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Rinse the millet in a fine-mesh strainer, rubbing gently under running water until the water runs clear.
  2. Add the millet and water to a saucepan.
  3. Bring to a gentle boil and cook over low heat until the grains open and the water is mostly absorbed but the millet is fully cooked.
  4. Transfer the cooked millet to a blender along with the cooking water.
  5. Add the sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, and salt.
  6. Blend until completely smooth. Add up to 1 dl (⅖ cup) of water if needed.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before using or storing.

Tips & Variations

  • Chill before serving for a firmer, more cheese-like texture.
