1 teaspoon Ground coriander
2 tablespoons Chopped mint

Directions

This is a really nice pate you could serve with fat free crackers, melba toast or home made tortilla chips. It's also nice as a ribbon sandwich filling along with cream/cottage cheese. Adapted from "Sarah Brown's Vegetarian Cookbook".

Bring lentils to boil in large pan of water. Cover and simmer until soft - about 45 minutes. Leave to cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice eggplant into 2cm (3/4inch) thick slices and then grill both sides until pulp is soft. Remove skin and chop finely (or process). Dry fry the ground coriander for a few minutes to bring out the aroma. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook until soft. Mix all together, adding lemon juice and seasoning and blend until smooth.
