This simple pate recipe is versatile in a raw food diet. You can use this tasty dish as a spread, dip, filling for a wrap, side dish with a salad or as a quick snack straight off the spoon! The taste of raw soaked walnuts, rinsed of all their dust, tannins, and strong bitter flavor, is such a delight! This recipe is easy to play around with.
Try different flavors by using other herbs (sage, cilantro, dill), adding vegetables (carrots, broccoli, bell peppers), using different nuts (almonds, macadamia) or other cold-pressed oils (avocado, macadamia, sesame). If you need to use dry herbs, cut the measurements in half.
If you find the pate too flavorful you can also try adding a little more oil or nutritional yeast, some vegetables (like broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers), or even some more nuts if you have some.
