High Protein Pate
One of my all time favourites made easy with this delicious and nutritious recipe using walnuts and beans as your plant-based protein.
Great enjoyed any time of day as a meal or snack.
Ingredients
1 cup white cabbage, finely sliced
1 cup shiitaki mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1 can white beans
1 cup walnuts
2 tbsp soya sauce
1 tbsp truffle oil
2 tbsp tomato puree
Good grind of black pepper
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp olive/vegetable oil for frying
2 tbsp vegan butter (I use Flora), melted
Method
Saute the cabbage and mushrooms in oil for 5 minutes
Add the fresh parsley and stir
In a food processor, mix the walnuts first until you have fine crumbs
Add ALL the ingredients to the food processor and mix until you have a smooth paste. Add a few tablespoons of warm water if the mixture is too dry
Once you have your paste, empty contents into 4 ramekins
Top with a drizzle of the melted butter and leave to once side to cool down for 30 minutes before putting in the fridge
Enjoy with toast or crackers and especially pairs well with cherry tomatoes and fresh tarragon.
