Walnut and Lentil Pate image

I found this recipe on the safe.org.nz site and found it too dry - the addition of low fat cream cheese made it just what I wanted - I take it to work to spread on toasted bagels for lunch. I use two 400g tins of lentils, rinsed and drained. I guess it could be made vegan by swapping the cheese for tofu.
