  • 2 oz cup egusi seeds*

  • 2 tsp light miso

Notes

  • Egusi seeds are from melons (reminiscent of pumpkin seeds but not green). They can be found in Africa food stores or by mail order.
  • Egusi seeds can be substitute with equal amount of blanched almonds. The fat portions remain the same.
  • Nutritional yeast, .5 oz is a condiment.
  • For best results use a food processor. Blenders tend to bring more oil out of the seeds/nuts therefore a food processor produces a drier mixture with no clumping.
