Summer Pâté Raw Food
When the summer heat hits, I am looking for quick, easy light raw food. Today I threw together a nut and seed pâté that you are going to love. There is about 3/4 of a cup of nuts and seeds plus a cup of chopped carrots, celery, etc. to lighten it up. I threw in some fun, super healthy spices, turmeric, cinnamon, and cumin to give it a lot of flavor. This blends up quickly with a food processor!
You can serve this in romaine leaves, roll it up in chard leaves, and put it on flat breads!
Summer Nut and Seed Pâté
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup finely diced carrots (in food processor)
- 3 stalks finely diced celery
- 1/4 cup dried currants
- 1/2 cup scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Soak the nuts and seeds for 8 hours, drain and rinse.
- Place nuts and seeds in food processor. Process until finely chopped.
- Mix together with the rest of the ingredients.
Serve on romaine leaves, roll up in chard, or spread on flat breads!

What is carmaden? You mentioned it in your opening paragraph but not in the list of ingredients. I want to try this ASAP. Thanks!

Susan, this looks delicious! I love dishes that are healthy and tasty at the same time like this one! I bet the texture is fun with all the seeds and nuts as well.

In our store, the currants are near the raisins. And no, they are different from raisins. Smaller and not quite as sweet.

Hi Susan thanks for this. It looks really delicious and so simple to do.
Isn’t currants and raisins the same? I thought they were but may be not.
Thanks

Where can I get currants? I’ve never seen currants in any Florida store.
