• April 26, 2024

Are you tired of always offering the same appetizer ? From the typical pate of pork bought last minute at the supermarket? A different and healthy proposal for the time of the snack or the starters of a dinner, are the vegetable pates .

We all know that the authentic pâté consists of a pasta soft made with goose liver, duck, pork or chicken, as well as some additive elements such as essences and spices.

With these ingredients softened to the steam and then pressed, the pate of all the life is prepared. However, we can also elaborate vegetable pates fine and varied, whose consistency does not ask for anything to the original and to which you can add flour, bread crumbs, eggs and vegetable oils.

It is worth reiterating that if you use virgin olive oil will improve the taste of the product. To give it a bright consistency, we can add natural gelatin.

On the other hand, Mexico is one of the main producers of chickpea , although we use it little in the kitchen. The hummus or chickpea pate is the easiest to prepare.

Chickpea pate

This one elaborates with chickpeas cooked to which you can then add ground pepper, paprika or paprika and a stream of olive oil, stirring well to mix everything. It is served in a deep dish and finally you bathe it with a little oil and sprinkle paprika to taste.

It can be spread on toast, or to accompany a roast or baked fish. It is delicious as a snack for an excursion or snack; If you add a leaf of lettuce, chopped radishes and a slice of tomato, you will give it an extra flavor.

Avocado pate

A preparation is mashed potatoes with a avocado mature and mix it with bread crumbs, ground pepper, a pinch of salt and a little butter.

You must remove everything very well so that it remains with the consistency of a pâté. You can use it to dip french fries or chips; place it on a roasted apple or a fruit salad.

Other pate delicious is that of carrots Y almonds . This one is more difficult to elaborate because you have to find the exact point of the pasta.

You have to cook the carrots until they are falling apart, drain them and place them in a bowl or deep bowl.
Then add ground almonds, butter, salt and pepper, bread crumbs, a few drops of brandy or cognac and a beaten egg. Mix everything well until you get a homogeneous paste.

In a bain-marie, the bowl is cooked for about 15 minutes and then left to cool. If you add a sheet of gelatin is like a tasty cake pate .
