Before you start

A blender or food processor will be very useful to make the meatball mixture.

Method

Rinse and drain the lentils, put them in pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the lentils are very tender, about 20 min. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan on medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, ginger and curry powder for 6-8 min, stirring from time to time. Set aside.
Tip lentils, sunflower seeds and onion mixture into a food processor. Pulse a few times to mix the ingredients into a paste.
Transfer the paste into a bowl and put in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours. Serve.

Remarks

The paté can be kept in a closed container for a few days in the fridge.
