Quick Green Bean Pate Recipes

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in food processor.
• Puree until smooth.
• Store in the fridge until needed, and bring to room temperature before serving for best results.
• Spread over whole wheat crackers and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter or oil a 5-cup pâté tureen or baking dish, or a bread pan.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet. Add the onion and carrot. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add 2 cloves of the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about one minute. Stir in the parsley and sage. Remove from the heat.
• Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and drop in the remaining clove of garlic. When the garlic is chopped and adhering to the sides of the bowl, stop the food processor and scrape down the bowl. Place the beans and eggs in the food processor. Turn it on, and add the lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Process until smooth. Add the onion mixture, and pulse to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Scrape into the prepared baking dish, and cover tightly.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until set and the top is just beginning to color. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool. For best results, refrigerate overnight. Serve at room temperature or cold.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan, then gently cook the shallot and garlic for 5 mins until softened. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the butter beans, then mash together until roughly puréed. Stir in the soured cream, parsley and seasoning. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, place the slices of bread under a medium grill and gently toast on both sides until light golden. Cut off the crusts and, using a long, sharp knife, split the bread in half, through the centre. Place the bread, untoasted-side up, under a low grill until it curls into a crisp, golden shell. Serve with the butter bean pâté and a sprig of parsley.

Steps:

• Bring the water and 2 tsp salt to boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Add the beans and let boil until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain in colander and rinse under cold water to cool. Shake colander to drain as much water as possible.
• Place beans and all remaining ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process to a smooth, thick puree. Between pulses, scrape the sides of the bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer to a small bowl or container. Cover tightly and store for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Place green beans in a small saucepan. Add country ham or bacon.
• Warm over low heat, about 15 minutes. (The beans will be warm before then but the extra time allows them to absorb the flavor of the ham.).

Steps:

• First rinse your beans THOROUGHLY with cold water and drain well.
• Place beans in a bowl and mash with potato masher.
• Add olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cilantro, scallions, and mix well until pretty smooth.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Put in a serving bowl and chill for no less than 30 minutes.
• Garnish and serve.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a serving bowl with butter.
• Pour olive oil into a skillet; add white pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Place the skillet over medium heat and warm the spices until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir shallot into the warm oil and spices; cook and stir until the shallot begins to change color, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir cannellini beans and tomato paste into the shallot and spice mixture. Cook and stir while mashing the beans thoroughly, about 5 minutes.
• Stir sherry and soy sauce through the mashed bean mixture; cook until the liquid evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from heat. Stir melted butter through the bean mixture; season with salt. Pack the bean mixture into the prepared bowl.
• Chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour; garnish with parsley and paprika to serve.
