Any of these Pâtés are delicious in a sandwich, stirred through a casserole or spread over puff pastry and topped with roasted vegetables to make a truly tantalising tart. There are plenty of recipes over on the Bonsan website but here's one of our favourites:

Big dollop of Bonsan Lentil & Turmeric Pâté
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Prepare vegetables: peel sweet potatoes and chop into cubes, peel the carrots if needed and half or quarter the brussels sprouts depending on the size.
3. Roast: Place vegetables, chickpeas and lemon in a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. Toss with oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste. Roast for 40 – 45 minutes, stirring halfway through. Vegetables should be slightly browned on the edges and fork tender. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
