Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 300 grams, sliced cremini mushrooms
- 100 grams walnuts
- 50 grams sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and released their moisture.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mushroom mixture cool for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, toast the walnuts and sunflower seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly golden and fragrant.
In a food processor, combine the cooked mushroom mixture, toasted walnuts and sunflower seeds, soy sauce, parsley, thyme, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the pate to a serving dish and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Serve with crackers, crusty bread, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
