Does anyone have a recipe for vegetarian mushroom pate please?

Question

Years ago, as an change from sandwiches for lunch, I use to pop down to the health food store and buy some biscuits and a pot of vegetarian mushroom pate. The pate was delicious, and I'd like to make some, so if anyone has a simple recipe I'd be very grateful.

Thankyou.

Answer 1

Ingredients...

Tbsp oil
10 medium mushrooms, roughly chopped
Tsp thyme
2 tsp tamari
3 tbsp chopped spring onions
Good squeeze of lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
1 dessert spoon of silken tofu
2 dessert spoons of dairy free mayonnaise
1 slice of wheat free bread

Method...

In a pan, heat the oil.
Add the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes, then stir in 2 tbsp of the onions, little squeeze of lemon and the thyme.
Add tamari at this stage and cook the mushrooms until the juice has come out and disappeared again.
Put in the blender with the tofu and mayonnaise - blitz!
Scrape that out of the blender, put into a bowl and add the remaining tsbp of onions.
Roughly break the bread into the blender and blitz until fine crumbs - this won't take more than a few seconds (don't worry about rinsing the blender out in between, the bread will splatter on the residual pate and it actually helps to get it out!)
Scrape out the breadcrumbs and residual pate into the mushroom mixture, stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more lemon juice if you wish.
Transfer into ramekins, cover and chill in the fridge.
Maybe serve with...

Serve on toast which has a thin layer of dairy-free spread.

For those able to eat wheat...

Use a wholemeal or granary wheat bread in the mixture

I made this for a party a couple of weeks ago with some gluten free crackers I made and nobody knew it was wheat free/vegan! DELISH

Mushroom Pate
Ingredients

1lb Mushrooms chopped
8 ozs Breadcrumbs
4 ozs Finely chopped nuts

1 Veg. Stock cube
2 tsp. Dried herbs

Method
Sauté onion & garlic in the oil for a few minutes, then add mushrooms, cook till soft. This will produce some liquid, add the stock cube and dissolve. Remove from the heat, stir in all the remaining ingredients. This should form a thick cake-like constituency. Grease a loaf tin or pate dish, press in the mixture, cover with foil and cook in a pre-heated oven gas mark 4 for 1hr. Remove foil and allow to cool before turning out. Serve with bread, toast or crackers.

Answer 3

This is more of a mock chopped liver than a pate, but here goes (adapted from "How it All Vegan!")

8 oz mushrooms, chopped
1 onion, chopped
garlic
oil for frying
salt and pepper
couple handfuls of walnuts

Saute mushrooms, onion, and garlic in olive oil until mushrooms soften and onions begin turning translucent. Put them in a blender and puree a bit to soften. Add walnuts and puree some more. Keep mixing until it forms a smooth paste. Stick in the fridge for several hours or overnight before serving.

Answer 5

You can make really nice pate with yellow split peas and red lentils. I chop onion and garlic finely and then sweat until clear and glossy but not brown. Mixw this with mashed cooked split peas or lentils and season to taste. You can add herbs, spices etc to taste and to vary the texture. I sometimes also add olive oil and a little water or lemon juice to thin it down to make a dip. You make t smooth or rough by changing how finely you chop the onion and how much you mash the pulses.

Answer 6

I make a mushroom paste by simply chopping mushrooms and marinating them in some olive oil and Bragg's Liquid Aminos. It's simple and it's suitable for a raw diet as well.
