Author Notes
I have a new blog where I am creating recipes that simulate some of my favorite foods with healthy ingredients suitable for people on special diets. This is a recipe for a fish-pate that has no fish! It is made mostly from white beans, citrus and seaweeds. I should warn you that the Dulse seaweed in this recipe has a very strong fish smell on its own but when incorporated into the recipe, it becomes very subtle.
This pate makes a great topping for bruschetta or crackers or a nice dip for chips or crudites. And its dead simple to throw together at the last minute. Enjoy! —DUZE @BakingBackwards
