In a worldwide trend, a lot of people try to take part in Veganuary each year – switching to a vegan or vegetarian diet for a month. Whilst sticking to a meat-free diet long term isn’t for everyone, there are benefits of including plant-based meals in our menu.

What to do with red lentils? I needed to find something else that I’d be able to use them for, and I did! And now I have a feeling I’ll be buying more of those 1 kilo bags because this red lentil pate is just perfect! The texture is really soft, so you can easily spread it on a slice of bread, but it also holds together really nicely and you can eat it alone. I will definitely be experimenting with extra ingredients and spices, but this basic version is delicious as it is (the fact that I ate half of the tin in one day should speak for itself… oops). Also, yet another time curry spices prove to be just the best, for everything! The pate gets its beautiful bright yellow colour and warming taste from the curry, so if you choose to experiment with spices, I’d recommend keeping curry on the list. 🙂
