Britain's past relation with its colonies, and in this case India, has had an influence in the amount of food, produce, restaurants and especially in how vegetarian food is treated.
Vegetarian pates are a favorite in Britain. i was first exposed to them through a famous restaurant located in London, near Oxford street, CRANKS. This restaurant had some incredible food back in the mid eighties. Today the restaurant does not exist but it has become a small chain of fast healthy vegetarian choices to kind of grab on the go.
This recipe of my own is inspired though on some of CRANKS pates. Recipes is as follows:
INGREDIENTS
One cup of red lentils (Soak over night in water)
One small yellow onion chopped
Two or three cloves of garlic
One teaspoon of curry
Two teaspoons of red chile paste
One tablespoon of honey
One small glass of white wine
Salt to taste
Cook the lentils in a saucepan with just enough water to cover and with the small onion and garlic chopped. Add salt and let simmer till the water is consumed and the lentils and onion is tender.
Drain excess water if any and then cook over heat the remaining ingredients.
Prepare a non flavoured gelatin. Add to the gelatin flovor by addin some wostershire sauce, wine, curry and a pich of sugar.
Pour gelatin into a mold, then add the mixture of lentils ( these will have an almost puree consistency). Finaly add another layer of gelatin mixture over the top of the lentils. Cool in fridge. When cold and firm unmold carefully and sprinkle some Red pepper and Paprika on the top. Enjoy with Indian bread or crakers.
