Omega seed butter

Step 1

Toasting the seeds will help them release their natural oils for better flavor and easier blending – without degrading their nutritional value.

Step 2

Spread the seeds on a parchment-lined baking tray and toast in the oven for just 5 minutes at 325ºF/160ºC.

Step 3

Allow them to cool slightly before transferring to your high-speed food processor or blender.

Step 4

Blend/process the nuts until they achieve a smooth butter. It can take a while to blend to the correct consistency, so give your machine a break every couple of minutes. Scrape down the sides of the jug, if needed.

Step 5

When it's ready, transfer it to a clean, airtight container (like a glass jar).
