Let's make the ingredients. Faster, of course, it will be possible to make a pate from canned beans, but it is much tastier from boiled beans. But it will take longer to cook it due to the heat treatment of dry beans. You can use red or white beans for pate, this, the only thing, will affect the color of the pate, but not to its taste.

Rinse the dry beans and soak them overnight. It will swell well and absorb a lot of liquid, so you need to take a large container for soaking beans so that the water covers the beans twice. When the beans swell well, rinse it again and pour clean water. We put it on fire. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for about 1 hour.

But you need to focus on the state of the product, the time of its boiling depends on how fresh the beans are. If the beans began to boil, then we sprinkle it to taste, turn off the fire. If the beans are still hard, then still cook it until it is soft. If there is not much stock left in the pan with beans, then you do not need to drain it. Let the beans cool a little.

Meanwhile, we will cook walnuts. We will promote them and dry them in the microwave so that they become crisp. We crush them with a blender very finely, one might say, into flour. Walnuts should be felt in the pate only by taste, and not by shards of nuts.

We will also prepare vegetables for pate. They will improve the taste of the pate and make it softer. We rub carrots on a grater.

Finely cut onions.

Heat olive oil in a pan. Fry vegetables in oil until the carrots are soft and the onions are transparent.

Remove the vegetable toast from the fire.

Using a blender, beat the beans and broth into a homogeneous mass. If the mass seems to be very dense and tight, some boiled water can be added. Add to this mass vegetable roasting, garlic clove, spices: freshly ground hot and black peppers, salt to taste and crushed walnut. Once again, beat the bean pate with a blender. We put it in jars, let it cool a little in the refrigerator and serve it to the table. Enjoy your meal!
