Rinse the green beans under cold water, trim the ends, and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Bring a pot of water to boil and add the green beans. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the cooked green beans. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring to combine the flavors. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine the cooked green beans, onion, garlic, walnuts, sunflower seeds, soy sauce, paprika, pepper, parsley (if using), and 2 tablespoons of water.
Pulse the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste with additional soy sauce or pepper, if desired.
Transfer the mock pâté to a serving dish and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil for extra richness.
Serve with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables, or use it as a spread for sandwiches.
