NOT Tuna/Salmon pâté (Raw)

This tasty pâté (fancy word for mushy, versatile, nutritional and tasty mixture of whole foods.. originally a term for spreadable meat mixture, but we have modified that into something better :) ) is perfect by itself by the forkful, smashed onto a sandwich, shoved in a wrap, topped on a salad, put inside a stuffed pepper or mushroom, or used as a filling for vegan sushi rolls! Super easy to make by literally throwing a few things into the food processor (only downside is having to "soak" your nuts n seeds overnight for a creamier texture-- but it won't kill ya if you don't have time and do them dry (your pâté just won't be as soft so it's recommended). I have skipped the step before without major issue though. This recipe is based off of "tuna" but can easily be modified a bit to become "salmon".  The recipe was taken from one of my awesome new raw books, "Raw Food Made Easy" by Jennifer Cornbleet. Enjoy!


Ingredients (2 servings, but will keep in fridge in sealed container for ~5 days so feel free to make a bigger batch to add into meals all week long!):

½ cup soaked raw sunflower seeds
½ cup soaked raw almonds OR walnuts
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ tablespoons minced celery
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 tablespoon minced parsley
** Modification for "salmon"- replace parsley with dill, and add ¼ cup grated carrots

Directions:

Blend blend blend in that food processor until smooth! You may have to scrape the sides down with a rubber spatula in between blending until all the mixture is fully incorporated. Enjoy!
