VEGAN MUSHROOM & WALNUT PATÉ – Nutritious & delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 cup walnuts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 300 g box portobella mushrooms, sliced (about 2 cups)
• 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

 

Instructions

1. Toast the walnuts in a large dry skillet over medium heat. Keep a careful eye on them and shake the pan often as they can burn quickly. As soon as they start browning on the edges remove them from the heat, add 3 cloves of garlic and shake.  Remove the walnuts and garlic from the pan.

2. Return the pan to the heat and add the olive oil. When hot, add the onions and sauté until the onions soften and turn golden about 10 minutes. Sauté the mushrooms with the remaining 3 cloves of garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper and until the mushrooms have cooked and reduced in size, about 10 minutes. If the mushrooms are sticking to the pan you can add a small dash of vegan butter. Optional: add some Port to the mushrooms while cooking. Keep the heat up so that the mushrooms don’t get watery and become a little crusty.

3. Place onion, mushrooms with rosemary, walnuts and parsley to a food-processor-safe bowl and mix with a hand blender, until you reach a coarse-pâté texture. Press into a container for serving using a spatula to smooth it, and let it chill completely in the fridge before serving with bread.
