1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds, soaked in water 4-6 hours then drained
8 or 10 sundried tomatoes soaked for 20 minutes in warm water

1/2 cup broccoli chopped
1/2 red pepper, cut in chunks
1/2 ripe tomato, cut in chunks
1 large clove garlic, sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
2 tbsp white or mild miso paste
juice of 1/2-1 lemon (to taste)
1/2 tsp cumin
Salt and pepper to taste

In a food processor, grind the almonds, pumpkin seeds, and carrot until well ground.
