Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 c Carrots -- sliced
1/4 c Onion -- diced
1 ea Garlic clove -- slivered
1/4 ts Dill
2 tb Olive oil
1/2 c -Water
1 tb Arrowroot -- dissolved in
1 tb -Water
2 tb White miso
1/4 ts Sea salt
2 tb Tahini -- optional

"For this recipe you may use a food processor instead
of a blender to puree the carrots. Mash the carrots
roughly before pureeing them. You might need to add a
little extra water; in which case, simmer the pureed,
flavored carrots for a little while longer. The pare
should not feel wet. The additional of two tablespoons
of tahini will make the pate taste richer and help
hold the ingredients together."

In a medium saucepan, saute the carrots, onions,
garlic and dill in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the
water, cover, and simmer until the carrots are tender
(about 20 minutes). Puree until a smooth paste and
return to the saucepan. Combine the dissolved
arrowroot, miso, salt and tahini, if you wish. Add
this mixture to the pureed carrots. Bring to a slow
simmer, stirring constantly and cook until the pate
detaches itself from the sides of the pan. Remove from
heat, turn the pate mixture out onto a lightly oiled
serving dish and let cool. Serve the pate with
crackers or toast, or serve it as a dip with crisp,
raw vegetables.
