broadbean pate
« on: May 15, 2012, 20:45 »
Dont know whether this had been posted here.
we made some today and it was yum.

Ingredients (no hard and fast rule. use your imagination)

BB - 350gm
soft cheese or creme freche or any of your favorite cheese - 175 gm
butter - 25 gm (if you are using hard cheese)
fresh mint - fist full - finely chopped
seasoning (salt and pepper) as per taste

Optional
crushed garlic - 2 cloves (not my favorite)
onion - 1 finely chopped (not my favorite)

any other herb of your taste if mint is not your favorite

boil  the beans, shell them
add all the ingredients in the food processor and run for at least 10 minutes until pate consistency.

toast a wheat bread (or any other bread) until crisp (optional pitta bread as well)
cut the bread to fingers

dip and eat them all up.

Please post the results and the variations you tried.  :)

Have made mushroom pate before (yuk) but would never have thought of using broad beans!  Will try this one. Thanks for the idea.

10 minutes in the food processor  :ohmy:

I don't think mine would run for that length of time!
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I do a similar one with cannellini beans with a touch of chilli, rather than the garlic  :)

Yes they do and with the added piquancy of garlic and mint, and maybe a bit of lemon drizzled over, it really does hit the spot.  I think whizz just enough to mix to a paste. The beans only need to be brought to the boil and simmered gently  :D

Great dish though I agree. Lovely on thick rounds of bread or toasted ciabatta too
