Description

Traditionally a meat-based dish, we gave pâté a plant-based makeover with hearty mushrooms, which impart a delightful umami flavor, walnuts and thyme.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 1 lb. Baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 2/3 cup walnuts, toasted
  • 1/4 cup white wine

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-low. Add the onion and sauté until it starts to brown, about 7 minutes.
  2. Add mushroom, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook until all of the liquid from the mushroom has evaporated, 18-20 minutes.
  3. Add the wine and turn up the heat to medium. Cook until the liquid evaporates again, 8-10 minutes.
  4. Transfer mushroom mixture to a food processor with the walnuts and another tablespoon of olive oil. Blend for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Transfer to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
