Paté Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown.

  3. 3

    Add Walnuts and Seasoning

    Stir in the chopped walnuts, fresh thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Blend the Mixture

    Transfer the mushroom mixture to a food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Transfer the paté to a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables.
