Preparation time: 10 minutes
Total time: 10 minutes
Number of servings: 4-6

Ingredients:
- 2 cups of soaked cashews (soak for 2 hours in water)
- 5 garlic cloves
- 8 tablespoons of water
- 50 g fresh spinach (make sure it is well washed)
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preparing the cashews: Start by soaking the cashews. Place them in a bowl and cover with water. Let them sit for 2 hours. This step is essential as soaked cashews become creamier and easier to blend.

2. Blending the ingredients: Once the cashews are soaked, drain the water and transfer them to a blender. Add the peeled garlic cloves, the 8 tablespoons of water, the extra virgin olive oil, and the sea salt. Blend on medium speed until you achieve a smooth paste. You can adjust the consistency with more water if necessary, but be careful not to make it too runny.

3. Adding the spinach: At this point, add the fresh spinach to the blender. Blend again, but only for a few seconds, until the spinach is incorporated into the mixture. It’s important not to blend too much to maintain a pleasant texture.

4. Taste and adjust: Taste the pâté and add salt if necessary. You can also experiment with other spices, such as pepper or lemon juice, for a more pronounced flavor.

5. Serving: Transfer the pâté to a bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving. This will help firm up the texture and enhance the flavors. You can serve it with seed crackers, fresh vegetables, or on slices of toasted bread.

Practical tips:
- Cashews can be replaced with other nuts, such as almonds, but the texture and flavor will be different.
- Spinach can be replaced with other greens, such as arugula or basil, for a different taste.
- This pâté is ideal for use as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
- If you want a stronger garlic flavor, you can add more cloves, but be careful not to overpower the dish.

This is a cashew and spinach pâté that is not only healthy but also extremely versatile. Enjoy a raw recipe that combines textures and flavors, perfect for any occasion!
