What is Paprika and olive pate?

Pate traditionally is a forcemeat that can be served in the form of a paste, a filling or a loaf. The ingredients of  pate are seasoned and cooked together, then blended into a fine paste, which can further be pressed together into a loaf or a spreadable paste. In this recipe we make a vegetarian version of the same by using olives and other aromatics which are seasoned together to form a delicious and spicy olive pate.

How to make Paprika and Olive Pate

1. Melt butter in a non-stick fry pan, add whole garlic cloves with some chopped onions. Add some chopped green chillies into the pan as well as the black and green olives. 

2. Add some tahini paste to the pan, with sesame oil, jalapenos and fresh cream, mix all this together while sauteing. Season with dried parsley, paprika, fresh ground black pepper and salt.  

3. Blend the whole mixture into a fine paste and store. Eat it by spreading on a piece of toast as it is.
