Bean Pate with Almonds

Recipe for canned white beans, almonds and onions pate. Additionally, a little orange peel can be added to the pate. Bean pate can be made using a blender or meat grinder.

Summary

Ingredients

• Canned beans – 200 g
• Almonds – 40 g
• Onions – up to 100 g
• Vegetable oil – 1 tablespoon.
• Chopped orange peel (optional) – up to 0.5 teaspoon.
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. For bean pate, it is easier to use ready-made canned beans, but you can also cook dry beans yourself. The color of the beans is not critical. The amount of onion is to taste, for example one small head. Orange peel is not an essential ingredient, a small amount of it adds freshness to the taste of the pate, and a large amount interrupts the taste of beans.
2. Fry the chopped onions in vegetable oil, lightly salt, but not until fried.
3. Drain the liquid from the canned beans, but do not pour it out, it may be needed to adjust the consistency of the pate (drier or more juicy).
4. Grind a portion of the dried almonds with a blender.
5. In a blender bowl, add beans and prepared onions to chopped almonds. Chop up the mass to the desired degree (coarse pate with small pieces or perfectly smooth pate).

   

6. Taste the bean pate. Add salt to taste if necessary. Add desired amount of orange zest and stir.
7. The easiest way to serve this healthy bean pate is on toast. For example, you can dry slices of bread in a frying pan in the oil left over from frying the onions.
8. Besides toast, bean pate can be used as an ingredient in other snacks (meat sandwiches, canned tuna tartlets, etc.)

Bon appetit!
