I know what it’s like when you find out you have someone with special dietary requirements coming to your party. I see the panic in my friends faces when I tell them I’M vegan haha!

This pate is a delicious, rich spreadable bowl of goodness, full of mediterranean flavours. Serve a big bowl of this with some crusty bread at your party this year and I promise everyone will dig in!

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  2. Chop the carrot, aubergine and red bell pepper into 1 inch chunks and lay out on a flat baking tray lined with parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Put the head of garlic on it's side and slice a small amount off the top so just the tips of the cloves are exposed, keep the end where all the cloves attach intact. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, season with salt and pepper and wrap in a tin foil package.
  4. Bake the vegetables and the garlic for 30 minutes, until soft. Allow to cool.
  5. Add the vegetables and garlic to a food processor with the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. You might need to do this in 2 batches depending on the size of your food processor.

      Hi Elizabeth! No I don’t bother, it’s lovely after it’s been roasted anyway and as it gets blended anyway there’s no need for the extra effort, really! Hope you enjoy it!
