Walnut Pate'

This is kinda like a mock-tuna. J digs it and it's much healthier than mercury-laden fish. I usually triple this recipe and it lasts all week. J loves it with Veganase on toast. I also throw in the food processor some carrots and celery to taste and for extra vegetables because the kid won't eat anything lately but good'ol kale and he needs variety! :)

Enjoy~




Walnut Pate'

1 cup raw walnuts (soaked in water for at least 1 hour before hand)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp cold pressed olive oil
1 tsp tamari
1/4 tsp garlic pwd
dash of high mineral unprocessed salt
1 tsp minced fresh parsley
1 tsp minced onion

Drain water from nuts. Combine w/ remaining ingredients into a food processor. I add a little water just to get to the consistency of a pate'. Make sure to stop the processor a couple of times throughout this process to scrap sides of food processor. Keep processing until the mixture is a nice thick pasty consistency.
