• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups walnut pieces (raw or toasted)

2 cups water

6 Tbsp tamari

4 Tbsp lemon juice

2 Tbsp nutritional yeast

1 Tbsp agar agar

3 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1 ½ tsp smoked paprika

1-2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (optional)

Directions

Add all the ingredients to a powerful blender and puree until smooth and creamy.

Transfer to a small sauce pan and bring to a simmer. Cook 5 minutes until it starts to thicken. (It will continue to thicken and set as it cools off)

Pour the pate mixture in a glass container and finish with a drizzle of olive oil over the top. Cover with a lid and efrigerate for a couple of hours or until completely set.

Remove the lid and place a small plate on top of the container. Carefully turn it upside down and give it a tap if needed for the pate to slide down on the plate. Alternatively serve out of the container. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with fresh crusty bread, tomatoes or cornichons.
