Directions
Soak the sunflower seeds in a bowl of water, making sure they're fully covered. Let them sit for about 8 hours or overnight, then drain off the water. Next, toss the soaked seeds into a blender or food processor along with celery, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, thyme, garlic, black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend everything until you get a smooth, creamy pâté. Spread this mixture evenly over each collard green leaf, getting ready to roll them up.
Serving Ideas For Every Meal
Serve these rolls chilled or at room temperature as a light lunch or appetizer. They go well with a fresh salad or a tangy dipping sauce like lemon tahini or a simple vinaigrette to add brightness to the dish.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Store the rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep any leftover pâté separate in a sealed jar to maintain freshness and stir well before using again.
