Chia, Sunflower Seed & Pomegranate Dip
Ingredients
- 250 g Soft cream cheese (For non-dairy use Koko dairy free cream cheese)
- 1 Pomegranate (Seeded. Keep a few aside to sprinkle on top for decoration)
- 5 g Chia seeds (5g is about 1 teaspoon)
- 7 g Sunflower seeds (7g is about 1 heaped teaspoon)
- 5 g Pumpkin seeds (5g is about 1 heaped teaspoon)
- 0.5 tsp Pomegranate molasses (Optional)
- 1 tsp Honey (Optional)
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl along with half the pomegranate seeds, being careful not to crush the seeds too much.
- Then add the other half of pomegranate seeds and gently fold through.
Notes
Cooks' Tips:
- To make the tricky task of removing the seeds from the pomegranate a little easier, roll it on a hard surface. Then cut in half on a plate, as the juices will have loosened, and bang the base of each half firmly and the seeds will fall out.
- Add the molasses and honey at stage 1 if using, to add extra depth of flavour and sweetness.
