So last year I created a full series as well around christmas food and food that’s good to eat around the holiday season. I love eating food during the holiday season cause it’s usually when we go crazy and we eat super good food, so I love having different things to try every year. Last year, the menu consisted on some hummus, bruschettas and some super nice beet salad for the starters. Then, we went onto the delicious “beef” wellington with lentils and a great onion sauce. For dessert, I did some yogurt parfaits that I still think about today and that I might try again this year.

- Put the pâté in a jar and make it very tight (put as much as possible in the jar). Close the lid then put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours before eating.

- Add all the veggies to the food processor with the spices and mix for at least 40 seconds. Add the chickpeas and mix again for 40 seconds approx till everything is well mixed.
