Spicy Mung Bean Pate

1 lb. cauliflower florets, trimmed

1 " piece ginger, chopped

2 jalapenos, seeded, chopped

3/4 cup water, as needed

1 cup split mung beans, soaked

3 tbsps. cilantro, chopped

1/2 tsp. coriander

1 tsp. cumin

1/4 tsp. turmeric

1/4 tsp. baking powder

3 tbsps. arrowroot

1 tsp. salt

freshly ground black pepper

1-1/2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

olive oil spray

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shred cauliflower; transfer to a mixing bowl.

To a running food processor, add ginger, chilies, mince. Add water and

drained mung beans. Process until smooth. Scrape puree into the bowl

with the cauliflower and the remaining ingredients, except for the oil

spray.

Generously mist a 12-cup muffin pan with oil or a 9x5x3 loaf pan. Spoon

mixture into oiled pan, smoothing tops. Bake tarts for 45 minutes and

loaf for 1 to 1-1/4 hours. Cool for 5 minutes on a rack and then unmould.
