Many of us are still on the slightly over indulgent side – the Christmas parties have been partied, the fatty food has been devoured and the New Year’s drinks are still to come – and that January gym promise hasn’t quite kicked in yet. Our vegan pâté side dish is a great gap filler – as an appetizer, snack, or party dip, and for those of you attempting to get a head start to your workout routines, it’s also high in protein so you know those hard-earned muscles won’t be wasting away 😉 Fiber should never, ever be forgotten either, and this dish is stacked in it. Pâté is a typical winter recipe (where I’m from) and it’s something I always crave. But the real version is pretty gross when you think about it (to me anyway) and finding a good veggie replacement isn’t always easy – many alternatives are either bland, or taste absolutely nothing like pâté. This lovely quick white bean spread does the job with aplomb however, and not only is it meat-free, it’s vegan too. Which is great for everyone involved (or not involved!). It’s tangy and flavourful, and makes the perfect starter to any big meal. It’s a very quick recipe – get some onions frying, throw it all in a processor, and you’re done. Meaning you’ve got a lot more time spare for other things!
White Bean Spread – Speed It Up
This is a super fast recipe and therefore great when you’re in a rush. The reason we write to fry the onions first is that recently all the ones we bought have been a little on the harsh side. If your onions aren’t overly strong or overpowering, you can skip that step completely. The same holds true for the garlic – it’s delicious when used fresh and unfried. But it’s also delicious fried too, so if you fry the onions, you may as well chuck the garlic in with them as well. The nutrition card shown here is using fried onions and garlic, and is based on two people sharing the spread as snack. Enjoy!
