Description

Zucchini Pate

Ingredients

  • 2 medium-size zucchini (1/2 lb)

  • 1 tsp tarragon or white-wine vinegar

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/4 cup packed fresh parsley sprigs

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

  • 1 (3 oz) package cream cheese, softened

  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

Line medium-size bowl with double thickness of cheesecloth. To extract some moisture from zucchini, coarsely grate unpeeled zucchini into prepared bowl. Sprinkle with vinegar, sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt. Toss gently; cover; set aside 1 hour. In food processor, with chopping blade, process parsley and chives until very finely chopped. Gather ends of cheesecloth; squeeze zucchini to drain out as much liquid as possible. Add drained zucchini to processor; process until smooth. Add softened cream cheese, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and the pepper. Process until well-combined. Press zucchini pate into small bowl. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
