 | Green Bean Pate with Basil |
This dish tastes sinfully rich, but it's not in the least, so enjoy!
Ingredients:
˝ pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, coarsely chopped
3 hard-boiled eggs
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon lemon rind
Low fat mayonnaise
Seasoned salt and pepper to taste
Melba toast or crackers
Garnish:
Nasturtium flowers
Cook beans until tender by
boiling or steaming them. In a skillet, heat oil, add onion and sauté
until softened. Cool. In a food processor or with a food chopper, process
or grind green beans, onions, eggs, basil and lemon rind until roughly
pureed. Remove to a bowl; mix in just enough mayonnaise to hold mixture
together. Stir in seasoned salt and pepper to taste. Chill. Garnish with
whole nasturtium blossoms. Serve with Melba toast or crackers. Makes 2 cups.
