The story behind this recipe

Fasting "pushes" you to look for recipes you never thought you'd seek out. Most of the time, I'm glad I cooked and tasted them; otherwise, how else would we cultivate our palate? Today, I made a recipe I had heard of but never cared about, yet it's one I want to make again this weekend 😍. It's the lentil pate... for which you don't need many ingredients or much time to prepare, but the taste is 100% satisfying. For a batch of pate that will satisfy you, your family, and even leave enough to proudly share with friends, we need: 500 gr red lentils, a good handful of walnuts, a handful of wild garlic, 2 stalks of green onion, a little truffle-infused oil (optional but I recommend it), salt and freshly ground pepper, a little olive oil. Soak the lentils and walnuts overnight. The next day, parboil the lentils and let them cool. A "boil" means putting them in a pot with enough water to cover them, and after it starts to boil, letting them cook for 3-4 minutes. Put the drained walnuts, wild garlic, and seasonings into the food processor. Puree everything well, then add the lentils. Don't worry, you'll get a beautiful and uniform paste. Season more if you feel the need. Enjoy!
