Servings: 3 oz. jar
Author: Shelly

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
  • 1-2 large shallots - sliced
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter or olive oil
  • 2 cups cremini* mushrooms - remove stem and slice
  • Coarse salt
  • Black pepper
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • ½ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon truffle oil - optional

Instructions

  • Put avocado or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the shallots, stirring occasionally, until they're translucent. Lower the heat to medium if necessary.
  • Stir in the vegan butter or oil and mushrooms. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Put the mushrooms mixture in a food processor and process for 1 minute. Add salt, pepper, walnuts, balsamic and truffle oil and process until smooth.
  • Put the paté in a container or jar, seal and store in the fridge for minimum 30 minutes. Serve with a good sourdough bread or crackers.

Notes

*You can use other mushrooms such as baby Portobello but don't use shiitakes, they will make your paté too rubbery (from experience).
