Categories     dinner, weekday, appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can white beans, rinsed, or 1 2/3 cups cooked white beans
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 eggs
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
Salt to taste about 3/4 teaspoon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter or oil a 5-cup pâté tureen or baking dish, or a bread pan.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet. Add the onion and carrot. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add 2 cloves of the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about one minute. Stir in the parsley and sage. Remove from the heat.

BLACK BEAN PâTé



Black Bean Pâté image

I prefer to cook my own black beans for this pâté. With white and red beans, the difference between canned and home-cooked isn't significant enough to matter in the pâté. It does matter with the black beans, though. This tastes like a very light version of refried beans.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Use dried beans for the best flavor and texture. If using canned beans, rinse them well before using.
  • Cook the beans properly: Beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs, spices, and other seasonings to create a flavorful pate.
  • Add some moisture: If the pate is too thick, add a little water, broth, or oil to thin it out.
  • Let the pate chill before serving: This will help it to firm up and develop its flavor.

Conclusion:

Bean pate is a delicious, versatile, and affordable spread that can be used in a variety of ways. It is perfect for sandwiches, crackers, vegetables, or as a dip. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique bean pate recipe that your family and friends will love.
