I am searching for a lentil pate recipe which I vaguely recall seeing in one of Amy Katzen's Moosewood cookbooks a while back. I just can't recall which one. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

 
Hi Sherri - I have the new Moosewood Cookbook, but the only pate

recipes in it are a Walnut Pate and a Walnut-Feta pate. Maybe it's in another one?

I googled lentil pate and Moosewood and I didn't find anything either. I did see a recipe on a vegan site though, do you want that even though it wasn't a Moosewood recipe?

 
There's one from Marbalet (where is she, anyway?)... not Moosewood though.

Note: It was at epi (formatting was awful - when they brought it over from Gail's I guess) so I've fixed it up as best as I could.

I have the Moosewood, Enchanted Broccoli Forest and Still Life w/ Menu, no lentil pate.

Also checked her web site, no luck.

 
Not Moosewood but 1984 Vegetarian Times Cookbook Lentil Pate

If you cannot find Moosewood and want me to type it up and post the REC I will. Let me know.
