Mushroom Pate

April 29, 2011 By Delia

Mushrooms are versatile ingredients. They can be eaten as is or added to other dishes. I can think of a long list of dishes that can be prepared with it.  They are also nutritious because they contain vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Here’s a simple pate recipe that you can prepare and store as well. It is best eaten with bread and crackers as well.

 

Ingredients:

30g butter

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons dry white wine

1 brown onion, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, crushed

300g cup button mushrooms, chopped

1 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

125g softened cream cheese

1/3 cup fresh continental parsley, chopped

Salt & freshly ground black pepper

 

Melt the butter in a large skillet under medium heat. Sauté the onions until they become translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they are light brown.

Put the mushrooms and the thyme in the skillet. Increase the heat to high and add the white wine. Cook it for 5-8 minutes or until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are soft. You may add more wine if needed. Set aside and let it cool for 15-20 minutes.

Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a blender or food processor. Add the parsley and cream cheese. Blend it until smooth. Season it with salt and pepper.

Place the pate in a sealed container and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until set. Spread over toasted bread or crackers.
