Carrot Cashew Pâté

From Care2 website, this is a good appetizer that is simple and quick to make.

Ingredients:

  • 2–3 cloves garlic, diced
  • 1 slice of sweet onion
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 C. cashews
Directions:
    1. In a food processor, using the “S” shaped blade, blend the garlic, onion and carrots to a fine consistency.

    2. Add cashews, and process along with the remaining ingredients. Stop periodically and scrape the sides with a rubber spatula. Continue to blend until creamy. Chill and serve.

    Variations:

    • Try using soaked almonds or sunflower seeds instead of cashews.
    • Replace the oil with a little water to help the ingredients blend together.
    • Stir in a finely-chopped stalk of fresh celery.
    Serves: 3-4

    Enjoy!
