Recipe Directions
- 1. Throw everything in a food processor (except the soy sauce). (Of course, make sure you soak and rinse your walnuts first. Soaking your walnuts is to soften them. Rinsing your walnuts removes the enzyme inhibitors and will make your final result taste better.)
- 2. Process ingredients in your food processor until it become a smooth, cream-cheese-like consistency.
- 3. Add the soy sauce near the end and then process again. The reason you are adding the soy sauce last is because if you add it at the beginning it might splash all over the place while the walnuts are flying around inside. Best to wait until it's smoother before adding the soy sauce to your mixture.
- 4. Serve this walnut pate on cucumber rounds. The flavour of the cucumber and the pate go together in a heavenly way. Don't know what a cucumber round is? It's easy to figure out! Slice an English cucumber into chunky rounds that resemble crackers. Spread the walnut pate mixture on top. Tadah!
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian OK, you're coming home for dinner. What are you going to eat?? Have a batch of this raw walnut pate recipe on hand and your tastebuds will thank you. Smooth and salty, it tastes divine paired with cucumber rounds.
It has a very savory flavor. It keeps in the fridge very well--if this pate lasts long enough!
The cucumber combination also makes a perfect appetizer, but I prefer to have a huge plate of cucumber cracker rounds for dinner!
PS: The soy sauce gives this raw recipe its taste so do not attempt to make this recipe without the soy sauce.

Raw walnut pate
Great base to do other flavours. I missed out the onion and used sun dried tomatoes in oil, and paprika. Sensational.

Raw walnut pate
This is a fantastic recipe. I was looking for something fast and easy to put on a coconut wrap w/ salad greens. I used spring onions instead of white onion (just didn't have white onion on hand) and added some cilantro. Just YUM!!!!

Do you think this would this work with non-raw soy sauce, too, or is the flavor of non-raw soy sauce too particular?

Hi Anna,
It would work perfectly well with non-raw soy sauce :)

Raw walnut pate
So because of you I recently went through a entire bundle of celery for the first time in my life! And then my second! It also means I am currently out and since I'm going on a trip soon I don't want to buy more now... any ideas if I can omit the celery and replace with another carrot- I know the flavor will be different, but I have the onions, walnuts, carrots, etc! Should I skip it?
I always plop a drop of sesame oil on this and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and garlic granules before serving now, we are such garlic fiends in my house!

I hope you survived the hurricane okay, EOV!
I'm glad you're ripping through the celery - not a bad thing :)
If you're still wondering about the celery/carrot replacement, it'll be *okay* but not ideal. I think I've done it in the past, and it just wasn't the same. I'd say, just get another pack of celery and chop up the rest and bring it with you for snacks. (Not the most exciting snack, but... a healthy one!)
Ooooh sesame oil, my fave for flavor lately. I can imagine that a drop of it would be really nice on top, as you mentioned - it would add some smokiness.

There's a hurricane coming and I'm gonna wing it. I will report back with results. :)

Loved the taste of this recipe and because it's so versatile. Who needs crackers or bread (or a dehidrator)?! And it lasts 4 days in the fridge?!!! Fantastic! This can be a quick snack four days straight. Yay!

I am so bummed, I followed the recipe, would not puree, even added an extra couple of spoonfuls of water and then it got moving, but it just tastes bitter and not really flavorful. All the ingredients by themselves are good, I can not figure out what I could have done wrong when everyone else is loving it, and yes I know my way around food, I have tons of experience cooking and not cooking all sorts of recipes for decades. Any thoughts or ideas? I really wanted to give this to my dd but I fear the reprisal. :(

Warning bells.... I think your walnuts are funky! Have you tasted your raw walnuts?
Also, did you soak them in water first to soften them? This makes them easier to food process.
Also, did you use a food processor (and not a blender)?

When you say "process" it, which setting do you mean on the food processor? I have chop, puree, mix, and pulse.

Hi Sandra, use the puree setting!!! :)

Ok so just wanted to say that this works rolled up into sushi too! I may or may not have mistaken this pate for the ginger spread in a dimly lit kitchen today. ;)

I am sensitive to walnuts and pecans...has anyone tried this with macadamias, cashews, or almonds? Or do you have a different similar recipe? Thanks!
