MUSHROOM PATE

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until starting to lightly brown, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until their liquid is almost evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Add sage, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more. Add sherry, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until the liquid evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a food processor. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, walnuts and nutritional yeast (or Parmesan) and pulse until very finely chopped, about 30 seconds. Serve garnished with sage, if desired.

ITALIAN MUSHROOM PATE

Steps:

• Add 1 tbls olive oil to a medium pan (not a non-stick frying pan)
• Finely Chop the onion and fry with the crushed garlic until soft, just before they start to brown.
• Add the chopped mushrooms, chili and thyme and continue cooking until the mushrooms are soft. Be carful not to overcook, as the mushrooms will make the mixture too liquid.
• Try the mixture and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Take off the heat, add the remaining olive oil and breadcrumbs and mix in a blender. I suggest not blending for too long and the pate will have a nice coarse texture.
• Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
• Comment:. This is quite spicy so you may want to use less chili. Or perhaps more!
