LENTIL PATE

I like to serve this with a homemade cob loaf (see recipe).

INGREDIENTS

1 cup Red lentils

2 cups Water

1 Onion, finely chopped

4 Cloves of garlic, finely chopped

3 tbsp Butter

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp Cider vinegar

METHOD

Wash lentils and bring to boil in the water. Simmer for 20 - 30 minutes until soft. Drain and set aside.

Gently fry the onion and garlic in the butter over a low heat until soft, but not browned. Season with salt and pepper. Add the lentils and warm through.

Add the vinegar and mash with a potato masher until smooth.

Serve lentil pate at room temperature with bread.
