Pumpkin seeds are a true health treasure. They are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins (especially the B group and vitamin E), and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and iron. Regular consumption supports the immune system, improves heart function, and strengthens bones.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of pumpkin seeds
• ½ cup of sun-dried tomatoes in oil
• 2-3 cloves of garlic
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Juice of ½ lemon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: fresh basil, oregano, or other favorite herbs

Preparation:

1. Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan until they are lightly browned. This will bring out more flavor and aroma.
2. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If the paste is too thick, add a bit more olive oil.
3. Season the paste with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs.
