Red lentil spread with ginger and sunflower seeds

Rinse the red lentils well under cold running water and boil them in salted water for about 10 minutes, until soft. After boiling, drain the water and let the lentils cool completely.

In a large bowl, add the cooled lentils, sunflower seeds (keep a few for decoration), flaxseed oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, and the peeled and finely grated ginger. Add the curry powder, smoked paprika, and freshly ground black pepper.

Blend everything with a hand blender until you get a smooth consistency. Then fold in the very finely chopped red onion, stirring with a spoon.
