Red Lentil Vegetarian Pate
Easy and out of the box bread spread or a side dish. This lentil pate is perfect for the festive season as it’s really easy to make but still have this wow factor to it.
Made with few aromatic ingredients you will have a delicate and delicious vegetarian pate. Great as a cold dish for Christmas breakfast or lunch with fresh bread and horseradish sauce, an absolute win-win combination.
As a meat-eater, I really enjoy this pate during Christmas as a nice alternative to all the meaty mains and other sides. It’s full of great spices from curry powder, paprika, and coriander leaves that give the lentil a bit of spice.
