My daughter asked me the definition of p├ót├® so I decided to look it up:
1 ÔÇô a meat or fish pie or patty
2 ÔÇô a spread of finely chopped or pureed seasoned meat <chicken liver p├ót├®>
Well in this case, the title of this dish might be a bit misleadingunless I tell you that this recipe comes from a raw food recipe book, so there is NO meat in it. I guess one might say that nuts take the place of meat for raw Foodists. I was looking for something a little different for lunch today. Its really amazing how creative you can get with salads. Yes, you never have to eat the same salad twice.
Here is the recipe for Garden Pate which makes 4 servings. I cut this recipe in half today and I ate both servings within a few hours of one another. Recipe comes from AniÔÇÖs Raw Food Kitchen by Ani Phyo.
- 1 cup almonds, dry
- 1 TBS grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 3 carrots
- 2 stalks celery
- 1/4 cup yellow onion
- Juice of 1/2 lemon, about 1 TBS
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 – 2 TBS water to thin, if necessary
- Process almonds into a powder. Empty into large bowl and set aside.
- Add all veggies and salt to food processor and pulse into small pieces.
- Add to almonds in bowl along with remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Scoop on a bed of greens or place into a lettuce leaf (or collard green leaf) to make a wrap.
I added 1/2 avocado. This was so tasty that I didnÔÇÖt add any additional dressing.
