Vegan Lentil Pate (Aka Faux Gras) image

This is simple to make and crazy delicious. The tarragon adds such a nice, sweet flavor. Serve with fancy crackers for a party or get-together, or just have this if you wanna be lazy for dinner! This pate tastes best when you allow it time to come to room temperature after it has been chilled.

Time 30m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup green lentil, picked-over and rinsed
1 sweet onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
4 cups water
1/2 cup cashews
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1 -2 teaspoon dried tarragon
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until soft. Add the lentils, bay leaf, and water, stir, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-20 minutes, until the lentils are tender, then drain.
  • Grind the cashews in the food processor until they resemble a coarse meal.
  • Pour the lentils and onions into the food processor. Remove the bay leaf. Cover and begin to puree, slowly adding the vinegar, remaining olive oil, tarragon, salt and pepper. If the mixture seems too dry or thick, add a little more olive oil, and taste to adjust seasonings.
  • Scrape the contents of the mixer into a Tupperware container and chill for at least 2 hours.

This pate is mediocre. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This pate is a good option for vegans and vegetarians. It's healthy and filling, but it's not the most flavorful pate I've ever had.

This pate is not bad, but it's not great either. It's a bit bland and lacks flavor. I wouldn't make it again.

This pate is okay, but I've had better. It's a bit too salty for my taste and the texture is a bit too coarse.

I found this recipe to be too complicated. There are too many steps and ingredients involved. I ended up giving up and ordering takeout instead.

This recipe was a disaster. The pate turned out grainy and lacked flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this pate was not it. It's very bland and has a strange texture. I wouldn't recommend it.

This pate is amazing! I can't believe it's vegan. It's got all the flavor and texture of traditional pate, but without the guilt. I'll definitely be making it again and again.
