VEGETARIAN RECIPES - NEWS FROM THE YOGA SANCTUARY

Recipes from Orlando's Living Kitchen ~ October 2009 Recipe

This Pate has many uses. You can use it as a dip for celery or carrots or cucumbers etc. You can mix it further with chopped veggies like red peppers or olives and then wrap with a collard leaf or a sheet of Nori. I feel it is important to eat any kind of nut or seed Pate with a good mix of veggies due to the very high fat content in nuts and seeds. This will help greatly with digestion.

Sunflower Paté

2 1/2 cups sunflower seeds soaked
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp crushed garlic
1/4 medium purple onion
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Raw Organic Nama Shoyu or Braggs Liquid Amino's
(These are not truly raw products but ferments.)
2 tbsp tahini
Salt to taste but should not be needed.

1. Place ingredients into a food processor and process till desired consistency is reached.

For best absorption of this meal, it is important not to mix the pate with fruits or starches, such as rice or potatoes. This type of food combination will cause bloating and for many, eventual weight gain.
