Butterbean, Butterbean Pâté (p. 41)
Yield: 10 servings

This party pâté is bursting with so much flavor, we had to name it twice!

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup minced onion
• 1/3 cup minced carrot
• 1/3 cup minced mushroom
• 1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1 1/2 cups cooked butterbeans
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Directions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the garlic, onion, carrot, mushrooms, and parsley until the onion is soft, but not browned (about 5 minutes).

Place the beans, nutritional yeast, and soy sauce in a food processor, and purée until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the sautéed vegetables.

Transfer the pâté to a decorative serving dish, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Top Tip:

For a smoother pâté, add the sautéed vegetables to the bean mixture while in the food processor, and blend.
