100 g Mushrooms; chopped
2 Cloves garlic; crushed
1 teaspoon Ground coriander
2 tablespoon Chopped mint
One half Lemon ; juice of
Salt and pepper

This is a really nice pate you could serve with fat free crackers, melba
toast or home made tortilla chips. It's also nice as a ribbon sandwich
filling along with cream/cottage cheese. Adapted from "Sarah Brown's
Vegetarian Cookbook".

Bring lentils to boil in large pan of water. Cover and simmer until soft
about 45 minutes. Leave to cool for 510 minutes. Slice eggplant into 2cm
(3/4inch) thick slices and then grill both sides until pulp is soft. Remove
skin and chop finely (or process). Dry fry the ground coriander for a few
minutes to bring out the aroma. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook until
soft. Mix all together, adding lemon juice and seasoning and blend until
smooth.
