Hazel Nut Pate

This is a subtle tasting pate that I often make around Christmas time. It is essentially a raw food dish as there is no cooking except the roasting of the nuts.
Hazel Nut Pate


200g Hazel Nuts
Celery Leaves
Coriander
Olive Oil
Spring Onion
Sesame Seeds


Method


Roast the Hazel Nuts on a dry pan. Put them in a blender a blend to a dusty powder.
Remove nuts from the blender, put them in a bowl. Add all other ingredients to the blender and blend briefly (not too fine). Add this mix to the Hazels and mix by hand. Season with salt and pepper. Shape into a log, roll in Black Poppy Seeds, or Sesame seeds, and put in the fridge for an hour. It will then be ready to slice and serve with Toast and the rest of the dips.

This pate has a subtle taste but is lovely on Toast
