     Title: Soya Bean Pate
Categories: Appetizers, Spreads, Dips, Vegetarian, Mark's
     Yield: 4 servings

     1 c  Soya beans, soaked
     1 md Onion, finely chopped
     1 tb Olive oil
     2 tb Tomato paste
     2 tb Black olives, pitted &
          -- chopped
     2 tb Parsley, chopped
     1 pn Salt
     1 tb Sesame seeds, lightly
          -- toasted

 Drain the beans, cover with fresh water & bring to a boil.  Boil hard
 for 10 minutes, reduce heat, cover & simmer until tender, about 2
 hours, depending on the age of the beans.  Drain & set aside.  When
 cooled, mash.

 Heat olive oil & saute the onions until very soft, 10 minutes.  Add
 to the mashed soya beans.  Stir in the tomato paste, olives, parsley,
 salt if necessary (remember that the olives already add a salty
 flavour to the rest of the ingredients) & sesame seeds.

 Spoon into a serving dish & chill for at least 30 minutes before
 serving. Serve with crackers or toast sliced into fingers.
