Ingredients

  • 400g/14oz tin borlotti beans, drained and rinsed

  • 50g/1¾oz vegan cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1g fresh dill (two little sprigs)

Chef’s tips: As with most food it’s all in the presentation. Blended beans don’t always look the most attractive thing. Use your skills as a chef to dress the pate. Slices of cucumber, baby tomatoes etc. will add a splash of colour. This recipe uses borlotti beans but just about any will work well. Always rinse and drain thoroughly, though.
