Umami Pate

Vegan Umami Pate by wanwu73 on Polyvore

 

 

I based this mixture off of my favorite veggie burger mix, making changes to lean to a more umami flavor.  In the last week I have used this mixture in a multitude of soups, sauces, sandwiches, and casseroles.  It has given a more toothsome feel to them all.  In the coming weeks I'll be posting many of those recipes.

 

Ingredients:

 

1/2 cup onion diced

1 tsp garlic powder

1 TB sesame oil

2.5 TB ground flax seed + 1/2 cup warm water

1 cup cannellini beans

1 cup oat flour

1 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

2 grated celery stalks

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1 TB soy sauce

2 TB umami broth powder

1 1/2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1tsp oregano

 

Directions:

 

1. Prep the flax seed and water and let sit for ten minutes.
2. In a medium size microwave save mixing bowl combine the onion, garlic powder, and sesame oil and microwave for 1 minute. 
3. Add the cannellini beans and mash with a potato masher.
4. Add the oat flour, breadcrumbs, celery, sunflower seeds, soy sauce, and flax seeds and combine well.
5. Add the broth powder and spices and combine well.

This should produce 26 oz of pate.  I store mine in the refrigerator in a ziploc bag and use it throughout the week.
