Ingredients

5 tablespoons vegan butter, (divided)
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, (cleaned and sliced)
8 ounces oyster mushrooms, (cleaned and roughly chopped)
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots ((about 2 shallots))
4 garlic cloves, (minced)
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons white truffle oil
1 teaspoon salt, (or to taste)
Black pepper, (to taste)

Steps:

Melt 2 tablespoons of vegan butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the cremini mushrooms in an even layer.
Cook the mushrooms for about 5 minutes, flip them, and cook them for about 5 minutes more, until tender and lightly browned on both sides.
Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and transfer them to a plate
Melt another 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet.
Add the oyster mushrooms in an even layer.
Cook the oyster mushrooms for about 10 minutes, flipping them two to three times, until tender and browned in spots.
Remove the oyster mushrooms from the skillet.
Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet.
Add the shallot and cook it for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent.
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook it for about 1 minute, until very fragrant.
Add the sherry and thyme, and return the mushrooms to the skillet.
Give everything a stir and bring the liquid to a simmer.
Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, until most of the liquid has cooked off, then remove the skillet from the burner.
Let the mixture cool for a few minutes while you gather the remaining ingredients.
Transfer the mushroom mixture to the bowl of a food processor fitted with an s-blade. Add the walnuts and truffle oil.
Blend the mixture until it's as smooth as you like it - anywhere from coarse and chunky, to a very smooth paste.
Season the pâté with salt and pepper.

Tips:

Choose the Right Mushrooms: Opt for flavorful mushroom varieties like cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms.
Marinate the Mushrooms: Enhance the umami flavor by marinating the mushrooms in a mixture of soy sauce, olive oil, and spices.
Use a Cast Iron Skillet: A cast iron skillet provides even heat distribution, ensuring perfectly cooked mushrooms.
Cook in Batches: Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming and ensure each mushroom gets a chance to brown properly.
Add Aromatics: Elevate the dish with aromatic ingredients like garlic, onion, and fresh herbs.
Season Generously: Don't be shy with seasonings like salt, pepper, and paprika to bring out the best flavors.
Serve with Accompaniments: Pair the mushrooms with complementary dishes like roasted vegetables, quinoa, or mashed potatoes.
