Savory Sprouted Lentil & Nut Spread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 cup raw cashews, finely ground (or grind whole ones in the first step)
    1/2 cup celery, minced
    2 teaspoons light miso (miso paste)
    2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
    1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
    1 cup sprouted lentils (or mixed bean sprouts)
    2 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (or to your taste)
    1/2 teaspoon dried basil
    1 pinch cayenne
    1 tablespoon tahini
    1 teaspoon tamari (or soy or Braggs)
Preparation
    Grind up the cashews until they're quite fine, I find my 'magic bullet' works really well for this small amount, but then I have to transfer to a food processor to get it to a pate consistency.
    Add in the rest of the ingredients, scraping down the sides a few times. Adjust seasoning to your taste, you may want to add a little extra miso for more saltiness or use the optional tamari/Braggs.
    Refrigerate and use within 24 hours.
