Directions:

1. With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously oil an 8 x 4-inch glass or aluminum pan.

2. In a food processor or blender, purée all of the ingredients until very smooth. 

3. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer with a spoon. Bake for 45 minutes or until the veggie pâté begins to brown.

4. Let cool. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Unmould and slice. The veggie paté will keep for one week in the refrigerator.
