so pleased with this recipe, tasted fantastic and waaayyyy healthier than normal meat pate. Even though it was veggie and i'm not vegetarian i didn't feel like it was missing anything. i served it at a buffet along with potato salads, slaws and pasta salads and this one was eaten up the fastest. next time i will make double.
