It's recipe week in my little blog circle, so here, as requested:
Carrot Cashew Pate
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed OR 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups carrots, thinly sliced
2/3 cup water
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 - 1 teaspoon curry powder (Madras is my favorite)
1 cup cashews
1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1. Saute onion and garlic in melted butter until translucent.
2. Add carrots, water, salt and curry. Cover and cook until soft.
3. While carrots are cooking, put cashews in the food processor and grind into a coarse meal. Add enough oil to make a paste.
4. Add carrot mixture and process until smooth. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm.
Use as a dip with crackers or crudite, or as a sandwich spread.

Ack! Discretion much, Ginger!?! Ixnay on the ackcray!!!
And you're welcome.
Mmmm...well I was hoping you might post this after Ginger mentioned it in her carrot soup post so yea! I love carrots & cashews and imagine the smoothness of this must be amazing. Definitely adding it to the must try list, thanks!!!
Now, where to find crack???
Yummy.
By the way, loving the deep purple background, but could you pick a lighter font color so it contrasts a little better? Thanks! =)
On Ginger's recomendation, I made this for a couple of get-togethers over New Year's weekend.
I think it's delicious and is yummy as a "filler" in celery too. (And for those of us who eat dairy, a little bit of Swiss cheese with it on the cracker is awesome.) It's a great spread for sandwiches too...
A definite "PASS." :)
