Steps:

WHITE BEAN PâTé



White Bean Pâté image

White bean pâté has been a signature dish of mine for decades. I've fiddled with the recipe over the years, varying the seasonings and adding more oil for better texture.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can white beans, rinsed, or 1 2/3 cups cooked white beans

3 garlic cloves, minced
2 eggs
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage

BLACK BEAN PâTé



Black Bean Pâté image

I prefer to cook my own black beans for this pâté. With white and red beans, the difference between canned and home-cooked isn't significant enough to matter in the pâté. It does matter with the black beans, though. This tastes like a very light version of refried beans.

1 can black beans, rinsed, or preferably 1 2/3 cups cooked black beans
