Ingredients
- 1 medium onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 can (435 g) white beans (1 can = 15.5 oz)
- ¼ cup (30 g) sun dried tomatoes in oil
- ½ lemon (juiced)
- 2 tbsp parsley, fresh (or frozen, chopped, use less if dried)
- 2 tbsp chives, fresh (or frozen, chopped)
- 1 tbsp water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional
- 2 tbsp tomato puree (The recipe above has a dark, almost nutty flavour. If you like your patè a little sweeter then add some puree for this effect.)
- Worcestershire sauce (vegetarian) (A few drops also combine nicely with this. Make sure you grab an anchovy-free, vegan one)
Instructions
- Roughly chop the onion and garlic.
- Fry them in oil for a couple of minutes until lightly browned. When ready, throw both into a large mixing bowl.
- Drain and rinse the beans and place them in the bowl.
- Juice the lemon.
- Finally, add the lemon juice and rest of the ingredients and using a hand blender, give it all a good blend. Alternatively throw it all in a food processor instead. That’s it! Serve as you like, hot wholemeal bread goes great.
