This easy vegan mushroom pate is so tasty and flavoursome. It's quick to make, but it will disappear even quicker!

Ingredients

  • 1 onion
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups mushrooms (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1½ tsp dried sage
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • salt (to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Dice the onions, finely chop the garlic and chop the mushrooms.

  2. 2

    In a frying pan on medium heat, heat the olive oil and then add the onions and fry for a couple of minutes until they are starting to turn translucent.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic, mushrooms, pepper and herbs. Add a splash of water and continue to fry until the mushrooms have shrunk down and their liquid has evaporated.

  4. 4

    Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the soy or tamari sauce.

  5. 5

    In another pan over medium-high heat (or in a fan oven), toast the walnuts until they are golden brown. Stir frequently.

  6. 6

    When the nuts and mushroom mixture have cooled down enough, combine them in a blender. Blend whilst gradually adding a splash of water until you have a spreadable uniform texture. Scrape down the sides as needed. The amount of water you need can vary, so start slowly. If you have a high-speed blender, you may not need to add any.

  7. 7

    Salt to taste and blend once again before serving.
