If you’ve ever wanted a plant-based pate that actually holds together and has real depth, this is the one.

Mashed tofu gets mixed with cornmeal, whole-wheat flour, wheat germ, and a lineup of warming spices: oregano, sage, fennel, allspice, and a touch of molasses for dark, earthy sweetness. Dijon mustard and soy sauce add savory punch. The whole thing gets packed into a casserole dish and steamed until firm with a lightly browned top.

Slice it cold and serve on crackers, crusty bread, or as part of a charcuterie-style spread. It keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks, getting more flavorful as it sits.

Pro Tips

  • Pack the mixture firmly into the dish with no air pockets. This helps it hold its shape when sliced.
  • Let the pate cool completely before removing it from the dish. Warm pate crumbles easily.
  • For a smoother texture, blend the tofu in a food processor before mixing with the dry ingredients.
