This was the very 1st raw foods recipe I ever made, from the 1st recipe book on living foods that I ever bought, Alissa Cohen’s “Living on Live Foods.” I couldn’t have made a better introduction to the deliciousness of raw foods. This is so yummy. My wife M., a confirmed carnivore, absolutely adores it and actually eats it — without being coaxed! She loves my raw chef-y creations but on a case-by-case basis. This is her favorite. Obviously, this recipe is a good one for sharing with non-raw friends and family.
This makes a huge amount of pate. It lasts about a week in the fridge. It’s a great make-ahead to have on hand for quick snacks and meals. I use it on it’s own on top of salads, in lunch time sammiches, wraps, rolls etc. It’s especially wonderful in raw sushi-maki.
Of course, I had to have some for my lunch today.
Allisa Cohen’s Mock Salmon Pate
Yield: 3 cups Servings: 12
2 cups walnuts
1 red pepper
1 scallion
4 cloves garlic
2 stalks celery
1 tsp salt (I use 1/2 tsp)
Mix it up in a food processor to combine until smooth (optional, I like mine a little chunky since I’m a texture fiend).
Serve with love.
