Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 2 medium Shallots
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Dry white wine
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 200 grams Chicken liver pate
- 1 large Fresh baguette
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Finely chop the mushrooms, shallots, and garlic.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing them to melt together.
Add the shallots and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes or until softened and fragrant.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and the mixture becomes almost dry.
Stir in the fresh thyme, dry white wine, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the wine to evaporate. Remove from heat and let the duxelles cool slightly.
Slice the baguette into thin discs. Optionally, toast them in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden.
Assemble the platter: Place the mushroom duxelles in a small bowl and set it on the platter. Add the chicken liver pate on the side, garnished with fresh parsley. Arrange the baguette slices around the duxelles and pate.
Serve immediately, allowing guests to spread the duxelles and pate onto the baguette slices.
