Red lentil spread with ginger and sunflower seeds

Rinse the red lentils thoroughly 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 (reserve a few for garnish), flaxseed oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, and peeled and finely grated ginger. Add curry, smoked paprika, and freshly ground pepper.

Blend everything with an immersion blender until you get a homogeneous consistency. Then incorporate the very finely chopped red onion, mixing with a spoon.
