"As a vegetarian the question is what to put on your bread. One can put cheese which is of course excluded for vegans and too much cheese is boring and unhealthy for many. So a good alternative is Joep´s veggie pâté. Here follows a basic recipe on which many variations are possible, only limited by your imagination.
Ingredients:500 gr. firm tofu150 gr. sunflower seeds150 gr. pumpkin seeds1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped1 or 2 tablespoons of Tamari or Soy sauce3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil3 tablespoons of organic sunflower oilSalt and ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper1 ½ tablespoon of ginger powder2 teaspoons of curry powder
Preparation:Rinse the tofu and cut in small dices.Put in mixing bowl and mix with olive oil, sunflower oil, tamari, chopped onion, salt, cayenne pepper, ginger powder and curry.Marinate for ½ – 1 hour.In the meantime roast the seeds at medium heat constantly stirring until golden brown, and then set aside.Stir-fry the marinated tofu in a non-stick skillet or wok at high temperature for about 10 minutes until golden brown.Mix in the seeds and fry for 2 more minutes.Let the preparation cool until it can be processed.In the food processor pulse until it becomes a smooth pâté.When the preparation is too dry add olive oil and sunflower oil in equal parts to smoothen the pâtéPut the pâté in glass containers and keep refrigerated.Keeps well in the fridge for 5 á 6 days
