Eureka! I’ve found the perfect Thanksgiving p\u00e2t\u00e9 recipe! It is an amazingly delicious, traditional dish with a twist.
\nWhile traditional p\u00e2t\u00e9s are often made from high-fat meats and liver, this vegetarian version is high on flavor and health, and low on calories! It is the perfect appetizer. Everyone will love it and sing your praises.
\nThanksgiving Walnut P\u00e2t\u00e9<\/strong>
\nIngredients<\/em>
\n1 large eggplant
\n1 cup walnut pieces
\n1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, peeled, grated and finely chopped
\n3 cloves garlic, mashed
\n1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
\n1\/8 teaspoon ground allspice
\nSalt and cayenne pepper to taste
\nWhole-grain crackers
\nInstructions<\/em>
\nPreheat oven to 450\u00b0F.
\nPlace eggplant on baking sheet.
\nPierce the eggplant with a fork in several places.
\nBake until very, very (really – very) soft, about 45 minutes.
\nWhile the eggplant is baking, grind the walnuts in a food processor until very fine
\nSet aside.
\nRemove the eggplant from oven.
\nCut it open, let the steam escape.
\nDrain off any liquid.
\nScrape the pulp into a food processor.
\nAdd ginger root. Garlic. Olive Oil.
\nProcess until smooth.
\nThen … second round:
\nAdd the ground walnuts and allspice, and process until smooth.
\nSeason to taste with the salt, and cayenne pepper.
\nSpoon into a small loaf dish and chill several hours. Until firm.
\nServe with whole-grain crackers.
\nEnjoy the accolades.
\nFeel good that you served up something healthy!
\nSmile!!!
