Simply Green Vegan Pate Recipe!

Simply Green Vegan Pate

The beauty of making Pate at home is that you can play around with recipes and make one with the ingredients to your liking. I love to use varieties of beans, nuts, greens, fresh herbs and spices when making pate such as this Simply Green Pate packed with plant-based protein and very delicious too!

Perfect as an appetizer, but also as spread on sandwich breads, wraps, paninis and much more!

So, let’s get started with the recipe.

Ingredients (serving size 4):

1 Cup roasted Tuscan kale
1 Cup cooked white beans

1/2 Cup toasted unsalted pumpkin seeds
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. Meyer lemon or lemon juice

1 Tsp. Meyer lemon or lemon zest

1/3 Cup green olives

1 garlic clove peeled
1 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
1/3 Tsp. ground coriander seeds
1/3 Tsp. cumin
1/3 Tsp. turmeric
1/3 Tsp. sea salt

Instructions:

1. In a food processor add all ingredients and process until the mixture is creamy.
4. Transfer your pate into a bowl, garnish with radishes, olives and anything else to your liking!

Enjoy!

Greeting Lovers of Artisan Vegan Cuisine!

Super excited to announce that I submitted my completed cookbook: The Art of Vegan Mediterranean Cooking to my awesome publisher on December 5, 2023.

Writing my first cookbook has been a sweet childhood dream of mine, an incredibly amazing journey, and I finally did it, so proud of myself!

My cookbook is written both in English and French, and it includes 100 plant-based recipes of appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, desserts, compotes, confitures, marmalades and elixirs. It is designed to inspire plant-based eating through recipes centered around farm-garden-to-table delicious beautiful vegan Mediterranean cuisine (French, Italian, Spanish & Moroccan).

Once I know the availability of my cookbook and its purchase options, I will share them in my monthly newsletter, Instagram and Facebook!

I can’t wait to get my own copy and of course for you to have it. You’ll love it, so, please stay tuned.
