Ring of Fire Pumpkin Seed Dip

 

hot! & tasty!

 

1 1/2 cups hulled pumpkin seeds

3/4 cup vegetable stock (or water)

1/4 cup lemon or lime juice

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp chili powder

1/2 tbsp dried red chili flakes

2 tsp olive oil

1 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp lemon pepper

 

Heat your oven to 350. Spread the pumpkin seeds out on a baking pan

in a thin layer, and toast in the oven, tossing frequently and

keeping a close watch to prevent burning. It should take five to ten

minutes, tops. While they are toasting, sauté the garlic in the olive

oil for about 30 seconds.

 

Place the seeds in your blender or food processor, and grind to a

fine powder. Add all remaining ingredients and process until smooth,

scraping down the sides as needed.

 

Serve with fresh cut veggies, pita points, crackers, corn chips or

toast fingers; whatever strikes yer fancy.

 

Makes 1 1/2 cups, approximately.
