Vegan Creton Pâté

Vegan Creton Pâté

Ingredients

¾ cup green lentils

2 Tbsp Olive oil

1 onion finely chopped

2 garlic cloves

¼ cup nutritional yeast

½ cup walnuts

1 tsp tamari

1/8 tsp ground cloves

¼ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

2 cups vegetable broth

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over low heat and add the onion. Cook until it becomes translucent. Add garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add lentils, walnuts, yeast, spices, salt, pepper, and tamari. Mix and let infuse the flavours for 2 to 3 minutes. 

Add vegetable broth and remaining oil, then continue to cook on low for 25 minutes, uncovered.

Stir often to make sure the mixture doesn’t stick to the bottom. Add water if needed. Simmer gently.

Remove when lentils are soft. In a food processor, reduce the preparation to a smooth and even purée. Correct the seasoning if needed.

Place the mixture in a mold and let cool.
