Pimento Cream Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw, unsalted sunflower seeds
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ packed cup diced jarred pimentos
- ½ cup fire-roasted tomatoes with their juices
- 3 garlic cloves
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Add the sunflower seeds to a bowl and pour boiling water on top. Soak for 1 hour and drain. This is necessary so they are soft and blend well, otherwise, the sauce won’t be creamy.
- Add the sunflower seeds, 7 Tbsp water, lemon juice, pimentos, fire-roasted tomatoes, garlic cloves, smoked paprika, salt and pepper to the blender and process until 100% smooth and no bits of seeds remain. This will take several minutes to get really smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides a couple of times during as needed.
- Taste and add more salt if needed.
