Carrot Cashew Pâté

I made this using the original recipe from Care2 website:



Carrot Cashew Pâté
Ingredients:

  • 2–3 cloves garlic, diced
  • 1 slice of sweet onion
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (optional)

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.


Serves 3–4

Enjoy!


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.
