Miso Pate
"This recipe sounds odd, but is really savory and delicious. Please go ahead and use your fingers to mash up the ingredients, they work better than any other utensil. This is another one of those clipped out recipes that fill my dozens of recipe notebooks, and I can't give credit to the chef. Sorry."

This is unusual but very more-ish. I had been wondering what to do with the packet of miso in my fridge ands this recipe is perfect for using it up. I really enjoyed this odd little recipe and will be making it again. Definitely recommend this one. -
I liked this! I used tahini and red miso, and a shallot instead of the onion. It has a very unusual flavor (but a good one); I think the miso predominates. I'm using it as a dip for raw veggies. I think I might like this even better if I were to use mashed chickpeas in place of the bread...I may try that next time. Thanks for sharing! -
Very tasty. I brought it to a party and it was quite a hit. It has a nice meaty taste yet is completely vegan. I think next time I'm going to add a little minced shitake mushroom as well. -
You're right--this is quite different, but it's also packed with flavor and surprisingly delicious! We really enjoyed it on rice crackers; I think it would also be nice in the sandwich you suggested. Thanks for posting!

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
<p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities. I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago. Her name is Bonny and you can read her story here: <a href=http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg target=_blank>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg</a>.</p>
