Cover the sunflower seeds and cook them for about ten minutes. Drain the water off and add the sunflower seeds to a blender. Add the tahini, lemon juice, spices and salt, garlic and a little bit of water and blend it until creamy. You can adjust the water, depending on how liquid you want your dressing. We like it a little on the thick side.
