Why do I need to soak the walnuts for this pate?

Soaking the walnuts for 6-8 hours or overnight softens them significantly, which is crucial for achieving the smooth, creamy texture of this pate when blended.

Can I use a regular blender or food processor instead of a handheld blender?

Yes, if you don't have a handheld blender, a food processor or a high-speed blender can also be used to combine the sun-dried tomatoes, walnuts, water, and sage leaves until smooth.

What kind of sun-dried tomatoes are best for this recipe?

The recipe specifies 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes. If using dry-packed, rehydrate them first; if using oil-packed, drain them well before adding to the mixture.

How should I store the Sun-Dried Tomato Pate?

Store the pate in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.

What are some ways to serve this Sun-Dried Tomato Pate?

This versatile pate is excellent spread on crackers, toast, or vegetable sticks. It can also be used as a sandwich spread or a flavorful addition to a plant-based charcuterie board.

How to Prepare Sun-Dried Tomato Pâté [Vegan, Grain-Free]

Soak the walnuts in water for 6-8 hours or overnight. The next day, drain the water away and give the walnuts a quick wash.
Place the sun-dried tomatoes, walnuts, water, and sage leaves in a bowl and use a handheld blender to mix everything together until nicely combined and smooth.

Notes

Sun-dried tomatoes can have quite a strong, slightly salty taste, so please taste test first and then add a pinch of salt and/or oregano if need be. If you are using sun-dried tomatoes in oil, please drain the oil away and do not use. For a truly raw version, buy raw, sun-dried tomatoes and soak in water for an hour or so before using it in the recipe. This keeps in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 1 week.
