ADDITIONAL
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 200C.
- Place all the ingredients for the chestnut spread in a bowl and, with a handheld blender (or regular blender), mix until fully combined. Set aside.
- Place the grapes in a large bowl, drizzle over the olive oil, sprinkle over the salt and dried thyme and with a wooden spoon, briefly mix so that the grapes are evenly covered by the other ingredients.
- Line a baking tray with grease proof baking paper. Place the grapes on top and bake in the oven for around 10 minutes.
- Whilst the grapes are in the oven, prep the mini toast slices by covering each with a generous serving of chestnut spread. Once the grapes are done, allow them to cool for about 5-10 minutes, then evenly distribute over the toast, top with chives and/or a sprinkle of pepper. Serve immediately.
Good to know!
This spread makes a great alternative to meaty pates for vegans or vegetarians.
