Italian Mushroom Pate image

This is Italian not because I have used Italian mushrooms in the recipe. It was inspired by a fantastic mushroom pate I eat last summer while on holiday in Umbria. This is extremely easy to make I recommended serving it heaped on warm wholemeal toast. In my opinion this makes an Ideal starter, snack, lunch or even breakfast.

Time 30m

Yield 8 slices of toast, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

300 g mushrooms (peeled and chopped)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 large garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon thyme (dried)
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs

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!

Overall, I thought this pate was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this pate to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the pate didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I think I might have overcooked the mushrooms.

This pate is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been made with less butter.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I actually really enjoyed this pate. The flavors were well-balanced and the texture was smooth and creamy.

I made this pate for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the addition of the walnuts, which gave the pate a nice crunch.

This pate is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. I had a bunch of cremini mushrooms that were about to go bad, so I decided to give this recipe a try. I'm so glad I did! The pate turned out great and it was a delicious way to use up my mushroom
