Mediterranean Lentil Walnut Pate

How to make it

1. 1

   Get out your food processor. First, add the walnuts and garlic cloves. Process them until they are finely chopped but not yet a paste.

2. 2

   Next, add the drained sun-dried tomatoes to the food processor. Pulse a few times to combine everything and break down the tomatoes.

3. 3

   Now, gently spoon in your cooked green lentils. Process again, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture starts to come together into a thick, spreadable pate.

4. 4

   Finally, add the fresh basil leaves. Pulse just a few times until the basil is incorporated and fragrant, you do not want to overmix it.

5. 5

   Taste and season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve chilled with your favorite crackers, fresh vegetables, or as a sandwich spread.
