This Pumpkin Walnut Pâtés is delicious, vegetarian-friendly and perfect for dipping into with slices of crusty bread, crackers, grissini or vegetable sticks. You can serve this as an appetizer for any of your holiday parties. I used homemade roasted hokkaido for this, but butternut squash or even canned pumpkin will work just as fine. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

 
  • 350 g Hokkaido pumpkin, peeled, cut into 5cm chunks
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 75 g Walnuts
  • 150 g Unsalted Kerrygold butter
  • 2 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 Eschalot, finely chopped
  • 4 Oregano sprigs
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Ground coriander
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Place pumpkin on a baking tray lined with baking paper, season and roast for 50-60 minutes or until tender. Add walnuts on a second tray in last 10 minutes of pumpkin cooking time. Remove pumpkin and walnuts from oven and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  2. Melt 50 grams of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and eschalot, and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add leaves from three oregano sprigs and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Transfer oregano mixture to a food processor with the roasted pumpkin, walnuts, lemon juice, and ground coriander. Season and whiz until a smooth paste.
  3. Melt the remaining 100 grams butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove milk solids that rise to surface and discard.
  4. Transfer the pumpkin mixture to a serving dish, pour over the clarified butter and top with the remaining oregano sprig and some peppercorns if desired. Chill until butter has set.

    Me gusta. Yo utilizo calabaza violín o cacahuete, llamada así por su forma, pero me gustan todas y en la compañía de nueces y otros ingredientes, ese paté está delicioso sin duda alguna.

    Very nice spin on classic pate - looks and sounds delicious! I think a splash of brandy or cognac would be nice, too.

    @Granny Sue Try cumin, or masala powder instead, Sue.

    What perfect timing, Angie! I just brought back Kerrygold butter from Arizona (I froze it for a few days and then wrapped them in an insulated bag, they didn't even begin to melt on the journey!) AND I will have a half a tin of pumpkin purée leftover from the pumpkin pie dessert I've been asked to bake for Christmas with my husband's family. Like I said, perfect timing.
