Recipe: Herby Almond Pâté

Almonds really do have to be one of the most versatile foods in the world, and are life savers for those following a Paleo diet. Whether you use them for Paleo baking as a replacement for flour, or enjoy as a dip for veggies, you may be surprised to know they make a delicious Almond Pâté! Great as a dip for crudités or just on its own as an appetiser.

Herby Almond Pâté Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw almonds, soaked overnight
• 50ml olive oil
• 40ml apple cider vinegar (or 20ml cider vinegar + 20ml lemon juice)
• 2 cups fresh basil
• 1 cup fresh parsley
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp raw honey (optional)
• Good pinch sea salt

Herby Almond Pâté How To:

Drain and rinse the almonds.

Add to the food processor along with all the other ingredients. Blitz until combined – around 30 seconds was plenty for me.

The flavours combined perfectly, but there was still a nice crunch to the Pâté. You could blend for longer if you would prefer it smoother!
