Sun dried tomato pate - should I make using canellini beans or walnuts?!
Answers: I've seen recipes using both but never tried them. Can anyone recommend either of these please? It's for a vegan starter tonight.
Why don't you try making one with beans and one with nuts and then let us know which one is the best!
I'd go for the beans as walnuts have such a strong flavour, whereas beans are pretty neutral and also a good texture for pate.
walnuts definitely
For me,neither. I prefer to use olives. But the first suggestion is good. Use both and let your guests decide which one they prefer.
Walnuts will give it a richer flavor.
I've used beans and olives together with great results. I've used various nuts for a much deeper & stronger flavour!
