Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup dried red kidney beans -- (6 ounces)--picked over, soaked overnight and drained, or 2 1/2 cups canned red kidney beans, rinsed and drained.
1/2 small white onion -- minced
1 bay leaf
6 cups water
3/4 cup walnuts -- (3 ounces)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter -- softened
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill weed
1 tablespoon minced basil
1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper
To serve: -- Armenian string cheese and baguette slices or torn pita

In a medium saucepan, combine the dried beans, onion and bay leaf. Add the
water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to moderate and simmer until
the beans are tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Drain the beans in a colander
and discard the bay leaf. Let cool completely.

Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the walnuts in a pie plate and bake for
about 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Transfer the walnuts to a food
processor and let them cool completely. Add the cooked dried or drained
canned kidney beans, butter and garlic and pulse until smooth. Add the
dill, basil and parsley, season with salt and pepper and pulse the bean
pâté just until blended.

Scrape the bean pâté onto a long sheet of plastic wrap and pat it into a
12-by-2-inch log. Wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
Slice the pâté 1/2 inch thick and serve with the string cheese and bread.

MAKE AHEAD The pâté can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
