Directions:

Steam Brussels sprouts for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a blender add: sunflower seeds, basil, olive oil, lemon juice and lemon peel (graded), almond milk, sauerkraut juice, black peppercorn and a dash of paprika and cayenne powder. In a small pan with water cook the mushrooms and garlic until tender. Dice a clove of raw garlic and leave it to the side. Once Brussels sprouts are done, place on a plate and add pesto and raw garlic – if you dare! Top it all off with the cooked mushrooms and garlic. Enjoy!
