Vegan walnut pâté
Almost a year since Dénia wrote the last post... Well she had to study hard to take her Frencn Bacalaureate in Maths and Physics, she she passed successfully.
Then she started pre medecine course in July, and hasn't stopped studying since.
So, since many of you asked for the recipe of the walnut pâté I posted on Facebook, I thought it would be much easier to write it here.
This awesome recipe is after Marie Laforêt, who truly is a genius. I highly recommend her blog: 100% Végétal
For this delicious pâté you will need:
- 400g silken tofu (drained)
- 4 spring onions
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 TBsp chives
- 40 g walnuts
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Tamari sause (I used Soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp white wine
- 2 Tbsp Shiro Miso (white mild Miso)
- 1 Tbsp barley Miso
- 1 tsp Agar Agar
INSTRUCTIONS:
Finely chop the spring onions and garlic, then chives.
Pour the olive oil in a frying pan and stir fry the garlic/spring onions mixture
In the meantime roughly crush the walnuts.
When the garlic mixture turns golden brown, add in the Tamari / soy sauce and the white wine.
Stir well and mix in the drained tofu.
Thouroughly whip with a wisk. The mixture will be rather lumpy.
Set on high heat and add in the Agar Agar, whilst vigourously whipping to prevent from lumps.
Bring to the boil while constantly whiping for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and incorporate the chopped chives and crushed walnuts.
Line a small loaf pan with cling film, pour the mixture then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
We had ours with freshly home baked bread, mesclum salad and oven roasted onion.
Which was lush.
