1 tb Vegetable oil or water
1 lg Onion
1 c Green beans, trimmed
1 c Cashews
1 tb Lemon juice
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Heat the oil or water in a small frying pan. Cook the onion slowly
over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until very soft -
about 5-7 minutes.
Steam the green beans over boiling water until just tender, about 10
minutes.
Place the onion, beans and the remaining ingredients in a food
processor and puree until smooth. Transfer the pate to a serving bowl
and serve immediate. The pate can be refrigerated, but bring it to
room temperature before serving.
