No need to eat chopped liver (ew!); try a vegetarian pate made from mushrooms and fresh herbs instead. Yum! Not sure what to do with pate? Spread it on bagels for a casual lazy breakfast, serve it with artisan bread or crackers for a party appetizer for a holiday or Christmas party. This herbed mushroom pate is vegetarian, vegan (if you use a vegan margarine) and cholesterol-free!
Ingredients:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp margarine
- 2 pounds fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 3/4 tsp rosemary
- 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
In a large saucepan, heat the margarine and cook the onion for 5-6 minutes, until soft.
Add the mushroom and cook for another 8-10 minutes, until well cooked. Remove the mixture from the heat and add the remaining ingredients.
Transfer to a blender or food processor, and pulse until desired consistency is achieved.
