Soy Pate

This Soy Pate is an easy recipe you can prepare for a quick lunch, dinner or as an appetizer. I’ve always liked pate, but I stopped buying long ago as I didn’t like the fact it contain preservatives or other ingredients that wouldn’t like to eat otherwise. I don’t know why it didn’t come to my mind earlier to make my own pate.

Actually I think it did, but I always thought it involves too much work and it won’t taste as good. And as I am  not a big fan of chicken liver I postponed this for quite some time. Never thought to try a soy pate until recently.

As I had some organic soy beans in my pantry I thought to use some and try making a soy pate. Wouldn’t have expected to turn out soo good. We all loved it soo much that since my first time I did it  I have made this pate for more than 3 times in  a very short period of time. If you wouldn’t know you could hardly say it’s made form soybeans.

It’s perfect as an appetizer, or served for breakfast with some fresh vegetables or pickles or having this on the road, to school or work. If you don’t have soybeans, you can still make this pate using chickpeas instead. It will taste as good.

    I love the simplicity of this recipe. I could eat it all in one sitting (I wouldn’t do that, but I COULD and I’m sure I’d want to)! 🙂

      Hehe, yes it is very good and super easy, we were quite surprised too as me and my husband were not very familiar with using soybeans in our diet. I discovered them recently and tried various recipes. I will probably post them soon.
