Strange Brew

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it is time to welcome Halloween with it's ghosts, goblins and eerie things. So with that spirit, I will be focusing the next two entries on strange combinations. With cooking, and many other areas in life, sometimes what doesn't seem to initially belong together can give you a pleasant surprise.

Potato Pate

The concept of a potato spread is kind of weird and the ingredients, when listed together on the recipe, don't sound that appetizing. To be honest, it did look a little strange when I took it out of the oven, but was it ever delicious.

1 onion & 1 large potato (skin can be left on)
1/2 cup warm water,  1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1/3 cup soy sauce ( I use Braggs instead- much less salt)

Preheat oven to 350F.  Roughly chop onion and potato.  Put all ingredients into food processor and pulse until everything is mixed together.  Pour into pie plate and bake for 1 to 1.5 hours.

Serve with crackers or pitas
