Ginger Almond Pâté


~~~
I was inspired by Ani Phyo's Ginger Almond Pate, and came up with this recipe with just a little tweak:

Ingredients:

1 cup almonds, soaked overnight (change water after 6 hours)
1 clove garlic, grated
1 tablespoon grated ginger
3 inch piece carrot, grated
1 lemon, juice
3 inch piece green onion, chopped
1/4 cup water
1 tsp olive oil
salt to taste

Method:

Run all ingredients together through a food processor, and it's ready. :)

The best way I can describe the flavor of the pate is that it tastes like a ginger lemon spread, perhaps like a cream cheese. You would never guess it's made of almonds. The flavor is such a tasty complement as a dip for vegetables or spread over crackers.
