Grind, separately, in coffee bean grinder, to make a flour consistency:

Pour the flour mixture into the veggie mixture and blend thoroughly.

Pour into greased (approx. 8") square or rectangular baking dish.

Bake, uncovered, until evenly set, and a bit crispy on top.
Remove from oven and, with flat metal spatula, immediately scrape down sides (between pâté and pan), to avoid pâté sticking as it cools.

Very good when warm.
Let cool completely before putting in fridge. Keeps for about a week.
Can also be stored freezer (well wrapped).
