Kidney Bean Pâté

A paste or pâté made of kidney beans is a favorite in our home. We use it to top a slice of fresh sourdough bread or crisp bread and it has so much flavour, takes 5 minutes to make and is filled with nutrients.

The taste depends on which herbs and spices you add in, so switch it up and vary as much as you want. I like to always add fresh herbs like basil, cilantro or parsley and mix it up with garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika and other spices. Sun-dried tomatoes also does wonders.
