Walnut pate.

So I've run out of chickpea's to make hommous and I'm looking for a dip for this weeks lunches. I swear I can remember seeing a recipe for a walnut and pepita dip somewhere but I certainly can not find it.

So I made this one up. It's actually surprisingly tasty and only requires the use of a food processor.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of walnuts that have been soaked in water for about ten to fifteen minutes, drained.
• Juice of one lemon.
• Quarter of a teaspoon of grated Ginger .
• Quarter of a teaspoon of chopped garlic.
• Two tablespoons of olive oil.
• One tablespoon pickeled jalapenos.
• Two teaspoons of soy sauce.
• Two spring onions.
• Two tablespoons fresh parsley.
• Small pinch of salt and pepper.
• Half a cup of water.

Method:

Throw all these ingredients into a food processor and blend until it's a pate like consistency. Depending on your food processor, you may need more or less water. I blended mine for about 7 minutes at various speeds and I'm really surprised at how tasty it is.

Oh, and it's so very sophisticated. xx
