I made this using the original recipe from Care2 website:
Ingredients:
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.
Carrot Cashew Pâté
|
- 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.
