Vegan Pate

Inspired by this lovely recipe from one of my favourite blogs

Since my husband is vegan I was struggling to find a replacement for a regular sandwich we used to eat before. The base was always cheese or some kind of meat. I thought there is no many options left but for my surprise there is. And here is a great recipe for a VEGAN PATE

You will need :

2 glasses of cooked jellow or red lentils 

1 glass of cooked millet grain

2 onions 

100ml of olive oil plus few spoons of oil for frying

2/3 tablespoons of light soy sauce 

3/4 teaspoon marjoram

1/2 teaspoon savory

1/4 teaspoon lovage

pinch of nutmeg

2 whole cloves

2 bay leaves

2 grains allspice

salt and black pepper

1. Dice the onions

2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the onions along with bay leaf allspice and cloves. Fry until the onion is soft and delicate , then remove and discard spices .

3. Add the onions to the cooked lentils together with cooked millet , oil and soy sauce and a pinch of salt and the rest of the spices. Blend with a blender until smooth , taste and season to taste with more soy souce and spices , if needed.

4.Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Transfer the pate butter into a small baking tray ( I bought small loaf baking tray)  lined with baking paper. 

5. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes. Then let cool overnight in the baking tray , in the morning , remove pate from the tray.

6. Enjoy!
