Step into the kitchen and see what is lying around in the fridge waiting for you. On this day it’s some beans, cheese, an aubergine.

Take a couple of onions and some garlic out and chop them up. Add some oil to the pan and fry up half the onions and garlic.

Add the beans you found, add a bit black pepper, a few randomly chosen spices from the cupboard, a little passata, and cook a little while.

Just then remember the cheese. Slice a bit and add it to the mix.

Once the cheese has melted, put all the ingredients aside to cool.

Start again, this time add the aubergine that you have chopped up before to the onions and garlic.

Leave them to fry for a while and look well done. Set them aside.

At this point realise you have some walnuts, add them to the pan and dry fry a bit.

Now back to the beans. Put them in a blender … and blend!

Add a bit of water, a drizzle, and oil.

Keep going till it looks like a paste. Put it an airtight container for storage.

Now repeat the process for the aubergines and walnuts. Add seasoning, perhaps a herb or two, blitz in the blender.

Turn out to store when ready.

Finally, make some toast, spread your pates on the toast slices and enjoy.

Rinse and repeat with other ingredients at will.
