Ingredients
    1/3 cup sunflower seeds, shelled (organic preferred)
    1/2 large red bell pepper, diced
    80 g feta cheese, diced (fat-reduced is fine)
    1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (optional)
    black pepper
Preparation
    Heat a frying pan til quite hot. Dont add any oil or fat.
    When the pan is hot add in the sunflower seeds and roast them for a few minutes until they start to brown. They will smell roasty when theyre ready and have a nice brown shimmer.
    Set aside.
    In a high rimmed bowl combine feta cheese, garlic powder, bell pepper and rosemary if using. Add sunflower seeds. Puree using a hand held blender until it has a nice creamy consistency. There will still be chunks, but thats ok.
    Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
    Enjoy!
