Tasty Lentil Pâté

Hi there! I hope you’re all doing well. I created this pâté as my boyfriend keeps asking me to create a new one quite often, I think this is the fourth I’ve done. They wer all tasty, but this one was one of the best…and anyway, I think I forgot to take pictures of the others

Ingredients:
1 cup of red lentils
1/2 large aubergine, diced
hot water
1/2 carrot
1/2 celery stalk
1/8 of an onion
1 medium clove of garlic
2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast flakes
1 tablespoon of miso
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2/3 leaves of sage
oregano to taste
rosemary to taste

Method:
Finely cut celery, onion, carrot, sage leaves (cut) and garlic and sauté them in a pan, with a tablespoon of olive oil. Once the onion they’re done, add the tablespoon of miso and stir well to dissolve it; once done, add the lentils and stir well for a couple of minutes, adding a little hot water if necessary. Now add the aubergines and stir well again for a couple of minutes. Add the water, I started with a cup and a half, which is 1.5 times the volume of lentils, but I needed to add a little more later. Just check while cooking and add water if necessary. Now all you have to do is just wait for the lentils and the aubergines to be done. When the lentils are tender, turn the heat off and add oregano, rosemary and nutritional yeast flakes; stir well. Wait a couple of minutes to let it cool a little and process with a hand blender. Let it cool for at least 1 hour, it doesn’t have to be cold, we tasted it lukewarm and it was really good.
