Lentil Walnut Pate

It is officially the holiday season, and as a self-proclaimed foodie, I think it’s the best time of the year! Making fun food to share with loved ones is one of my greatest pleasures and ensuring everyone can join in the deliciousness is a favorite challenge. Enter this veggie pate.

Pate originated as a means of using up the less desirable animal parts, which often are very tasty, but need additional ingredients to be properly eaten. If you have friends and family who are no longer eating animal products, offer this to them (and your carnivore eaters) and be pleasantly surprised. 

Delicate but flavorful, made with pantry ingredients itt tastes best several days after it's made, so perfect to just have in the refrigerator or part of your make ahead items. I won’t say it tastes like the meat version but I will say you will enjoy it!
