Beet tops pate with pumpkin seeds is a very tasty and very original appetizer, although it consists of the most common products – beet tops, pumpkin seeds, garlic and sunflower oil. The basis of the dish is a duet of bright and juicy young beet leaves and pumpkin seeds. These ingredients have a neutral taste, so they need to be shaded with some savory product, the role of which in the proposed dish is successfully performed by garlic. The link is sunflower oil.
All products perfectly complement each other, and without any of them, the pâté will lose its original taste. In addition, this snack belongs to the category of healthy dishes, as it consists exclusively of fresh, non-heat-treated products, which allows you to fully preserve a rich set of vitamins and microelements.
