Raw Nut Pate' for Sparrow

[Guest guest]

From Gillian McKeith's " Slim For Life " :

 

~Raw Pate~

 

Serves 2

 

2 TBS torn fresh basil

1 TBS chopped cilantro

7 oz. whole almonds, soaked

2 1/2 oz. pine nuts

2 TBS lemon juice

1 garlic clove

 

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.

2. Place in a small bowl and refrigerate.

3. Serve with mixed sprouts.

 

NOTES: I don't like cilantro, so I left it out. I soaked the nuts

overnight in the fridge. I didn't have 7 oz of almonds, so I used the

almonds I had, plus some raw cashews as well,to make a total of 7 oz.

 

This is the first raw nut pate that I've ever made, and I am HOOKED!

What I do is put some pate' in the middle of a plate and surround it

with 1/2 of a cucumber, chopped, and one tomato, chopped. Then I

sprinkle some fresh basil shreds on it. It is sooo good! Pretty, too!

I think this would also make a good filling for a romaine wrap. Take

a large leaf of romaine, place some pate on it, and roll up like a

burrito.
