Vegetable Pate

This is one of my favourite snacks to have on hand. Great for get-togethers, Holiday parties and just to have on hand for a delicious, filling and nutritious snack. Try spread on crackers, baguette or my favourite celery sticks.
You can experiment with the vegetables and seasonings to make different pates for different seasons.
