Spicy Harissa Veggie Walnut Pâté

I am not sure whether this dish should be called a veggie nut loaf or veggie pâté. It has the depth and look of a loaf but is also spreadable like pâté. Regardless of whether it is considered a loaf or pâté, it is delicious and so versatile!  I am always looking for ways to incorporate more vegetables into my diet and this recipe is perfect. Chock full of antioxidant rich vegetables like broccoli, red pepper and sweet potato, it also includes almond flour and walnuts resulting in a satisfying, nutritious, textured pâté that is perfect on its own, in salads, on crackers or on toast.
