   2       c            Carrots -- sliced
     1/4   c            Onion -- diced
   1       ea           Garlic clove -- slivered
     1/4   ts           Dill
   2       tb           Olive oil
     1/2   c            -Water
   1       tb           Arrowroot -- dissolved in
   1       tb           -Water
   2       tb           White miso
     1/4   ts           Sea salt
   2       tb           Tahini -- optional

  "For this recipe you may use a food processor instead
  of a blender to puree the carrots. Mash the carrots
  roughly before pureeing them. You might need to add a
  little extra water; in which case, simmer the pureed,
  flavored carrots for a little while longer. The pare
  should not feel wet. The additional of two tablespoons
  of tahini will make the pate taste richer and help
  hold the ingredients together."
  
  In a medium saucepan, saute the carrots, onions,
  garlic and dill in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the
  water, cover, and simmer until the carrots are tender
  (about 20 minutes). Puree until a smooth paste and
  return to the saucepan. Combine the dissolved
  arrowroot, miso, salt and tahini, if you wish. Add
  this mixture to the pureed carrots. Bring to a slow
  simmer, stirring constantly and cook until the pate
  detaches itself from the sides of the pan. Remove from
  heat, turn the pate mixture out onto a lightly oiled
  serving dish and let cool. Serve the pate with
  crackers or toast, or serve it as a dip with crisp,
  raw vegetables.
