Instructions
1
Rinse the red lentils well under running water. Pour them into a pot, cover with stock, and cook until soft (about 10–12 minutes), until the lentils absorb almost all the liquid. Drain off any excess water.
2
While the lentils are cooking, chop the onion and garlic, and finely grate the carrot. Cut the mushrooms into small cubes.
3
In a pan, sauté the onion in olive oil until translucent. Add the carrot and mushrooms and sauté over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, until the vegetables soften and the mushrooms brown nicely.
4
Stir the garlic, smoked paprika, thyme, and tamari into the pan. Sauté for another minute until the garlic becomes fragrant, then remove from heat.
5
Place the cooked lentils, sautéed vegetables with mushrooms, walnuts, and lemon juice into a blender. Blend to the desired texture (completely smooth or slightly rustic with chunks).
6
Taste the pâté and add salt and pepper as needed. Chill it in the refrigerator before serving so the flavors meld and the texture firms up.
