Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Cook Lentils
In a pot, add the black lentils and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Adjust Consistency
If the paté is too thick, add additional olive oil one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Chill and Serve
Transfer the paté to a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Serve with crackers or toasted bread.
