The Easiest Mushroom Pâté Ever
If you're after a super easy way to use some of our gourmet mushrooms, this is the recipe for you. It works brilliantly for a quick canapé at Xmas, or any time of year really.
Works best with: any mushroom
Serves: 4-6 people as a starter
Ingredients
- 1 punnet of mixed mushrooms (approx 200g)
- 20g butter
- 2-3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 200g cream cheese (vegan or dairy works)
- Salt & pepper
Method
- Chop the mushrooms
- Melt the butter in a frying pan
- Add the mushrooms & garlic, frying for approx 10 minutes, until all the moisture has evaporated
- Leave to cool for 5 minutes
- Add the mushrooms to a food processor & blitz - leave a few chunks if you want a chunky pâté, or blitz until totally sooth if you'd rather
- Add the cream cheese to the food processor & blitz until well blended
- Season to taste (we like it peppery)
- Spoon into a bowl of your choice, and leave to cool
- Once cool, cover & pop it in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavours to develop
- Serve with crostini, toast, sourdough, rye flatbreads or whatever takes your fancy
The pâté will keep in the fridge for a week.
