Method

Put everything except the seeds into the processor and whiz until the mixture is well mixed. Add the seeds and continue processing until the dough comes together, like pastry.

Form into three or four cylinders - about 3-4cm in diameter - and wrap in clingfilm. Chill for at least four hours, till firm.

Cut into 5mm slices, space 1-2 cm apart on baking sheets and
