Vegan Celery and Beet Pâté
What Started it all:
Celery, Beet, yeast, food processor
This isn't your run-of-the-mill, half-assed vegan dish. We're talking a rich, flavorful pâté that'll make you forget there's no meat in it. If you can't get this right, you might as well hang up your apron now.
Ingredients
- 4 stalks of celery, chopped
- 2 medium beets, roasted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Beets: First off, roast those beets. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets in foil, toss them in the oven, and let them roast for about 45 minutes until they're tender. Let them cool, then peel and chop them up. If you can't manage that, just give up now.
- Celery Time: While the beets are roasting, chop the celery. Make sure they're in small, manageable pieces, or you'll be dealing with a stringy mess.
- Blend It Up: Grab your food processor. Toss in the roasted beets, chopped celery, nutritional yeast, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. If you think it's too chunky, blend it more. This isn't rocket science.
- Taste Test: Give it a taste. If it needs more seasoning, add it. Don’t skimp on the salt and pepper. You want this to have flavor, not taste like cardboard.
- Serve: Scoop the pâté into a serving dish. You can serve it with crackers, bread, or even some fresh veggies. If it looks like crap, make it again until it doesn’t.
There you have it, a vegan pâté that doesn't suck. If you followed these instructions and it still turned out wrong, well, maybe cooking isn't for you. Now get out there and impress someone, or at least don't embarrass yourself.
