Put the cauliflower, red pepper, squash, sunflower seeds, onion and parsley in a food processor and purée. Stir in the dehydrated vegetables. Process again. Stir in the flax seeds, shallots, parsley, liquid aminos, oil, olives, cumin, curry and coriander. Refrigerate the pâté for ar least one hour. Stir the mixture, taste and adjust for seasoning. Mold the pâté into the desired shape, cover with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated. Serves eight to 10.
