Herbed Hemp-Pine Nut Spread
- 1 cup hemp seeds
- ½ cup pine nuts (may substitute macadamia or cashews)
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon of white miso (can be omitted – add ½ t salt)
- 1 teaspoon white balsamic vinegar
- water
- 1 teaspoon sage
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
Combine everything, except the herbs, in a food processor or blender and process until a thick paste forms. Start slowly with the water by adding 3 tablespoons initially and adding more if needed. When the consistency is reached, add the herbs and pulse to combine.
Serve this as a spread or dip. This can be layered with pesto, olive tapenade or cranberry orange fig relish to make a festive presentation.
