EXOTIC MUSHROOM AND WALNUT PATE
I got this recipe from a winery at a tasting. It is so delicious on French bread with some wine. For a chunkier consistency, you can fold in additional chopped walnuts at the end. I couldn't stop eating it at the tasting and neither could any of the other tasters!

Transfer terrine to a rack and cool. Chill, covered, at least 8 hours (overnight) for flavors to develop.

MUSHROOM & NUT PATE
Found this recipe years ago, and don't even remember where it came from. I've tweaked this endlessly, adding parmesan cheese, different nuts, combinations of mushrooms, and different seasonings. If you like mushrooms and nuts, you'll like this. The recipe even looks like a pate - very similar color and texture. We especially like it hot, but it's still very good cold (put on a cracker, top with some cheese and roasted red pepper and broil - yum) or at room temperature. Great year-round, and especially at parties.

Steps:
- 1. Thaw puff pastry. Season filets with salt and pepper. On a board, roll out 2 puff pastry shells (or if using sheets, roll out the sheet) cutting a round big enough to encase the filets.
- 2. Spread the pate on top of each filet. Wrap the filets in puff pastry, pate side down so the seams are on the bottom of each wrapped filet. Seal the edges with the egg mixture.
- 3. Brush egg mixture all over pastry to give a glossy sheen. Roll out another sheet of pastry. Cut out shapes you desire and and decorate each wrapped filet. Brush again with egg mixture.
- 4. Bake the wrapped filets on cookie sheet in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes. The pastry will be golden brown. The filets will come out medium rare. If you are a well done lover, this will not work. Tenderloin is best under-cooked. It might get tough if you cook them till they are well done. NOTE: This is wonderful with my mushroom pate recipe. I will post that as well.
ITALIAN MUSHROOM PATE
This is Italian not because I have used Italian mushrooms in the recipe. It was inspired by a fantastic mushroom pate I eat last summer while on holiday in Umbria. This is extremely easy to make I recommended serving it heaped on warm wholemeal toast. In my opinion this makes an Ideal starter, snack, lunch or even breakfast.

Steps:
- Add 1 tbls olive oil to a medium pan (not a non-stick frying pan)
- Finely Chop the onion and fry with the crushed garlic until soft, just before they start to brown.
- Add the chopped mushrooms, chili and thyme and continue cooking until the mushrooms are soft. Be carful not to overcook, as the mushrooms will make the mixture too liquid.
- Try the mixture and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Take off the heat, add the remaining olive oil and breadcrumbs and mix in a blender. I suggest not blending for too long and the pate will have a nice coarse texture.
- Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Comment:. This is quite spicy so you may want to use less chili. Or perhaps more!

Categories Mushroom Vegetarian
Number Of Ingredients 18
Steps:
- 1. To prepare the toasted walnuts, first soak in two cups of warm water for 30 minutes. Drain. Place nuts on a baking sheet and bake in a 350° oven for 30 minutes, or until dry and light brown. Rotate every 10 minutes. Allow nuts to cool to room temperature before serving. 2. In a large nonstick skillet or sauté pan, cook the red onion, garlic, and mushrooms in the red wine, the chanterelle soaking liquid, and sea salt over medium heat, stirring often, until all the moisture has evaporated. Add the chanterelles and cook until heated through. Remove from the heat. Add the sage, thyme, rosemary, nutmeg, pepper, and yeast and stir well to incorporate. Transfer to a blender. Add the walnuts, tamari, vinegar, and 1½ cups of the water. Blend until smooth. 3. In a small saucepan, bring the remaining 1 cup water to a boil. Whisk in the agar agar and turn the heat to low. Continue whisking until the agar agar is thoroughly dissolved, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add to the mushroom mixture and blend until incorporated. 4. Test the paté to ensure that it sets up by refrigerating 1 tablespoonful for 10 minutes. If the test paté isn't firm by then, dissolve another 2 tsp agar agar powder or 1 Tbsp agar agar flakes in boiling water and add to the paté. Spread in an 8 x 5-inch loaf pan or 8-cup mold. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Unmold and cut into slices and serve.
MUSHROOM PATE
Steps:
- Pate: Melt the butter in a heavy skillet. Sweat onions, garlic and mushrooms. Tear the roll into small pieces, add to mushrooms. Cool mixture. Blend with cream cheese and parsley. Season with salt & pepper. Croutes: Cut the bagette into thin slices on the diagonal. Toss with olive oil & salt. Bake in oven at 350 degrees until crisp, turning halfway through. Pickled Red Onion Confit: Thinly slice onion in cuisinart or mandoline. Heat all other ingredients (not onion) to boiling point in a saute pan. Add onions and stir constantly, until they turn pink. Cool. Remove garlic cloves. To serve: Spread mushroom pate on croute, garnish with pickled red onion confit.
Tips:
- Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in hot water for at least 30 minutes until softened. Ensure you strain the liquid through a fine sieve and reserve it to add umami to the pâté later on.
- Use a variety of mushrooms for a more complex flavor and texture - try using oyster, shiitake, and cremini mushrooms alongside the porcini.
- Finely chop the mushrooms to ensure an even consistency in the pâté. A food processor can be used to achieve this if desired.
- Sauté the mushrooms in butter until they are golden brown and caramelized. This step helps enhance their flavor and aroma.
- Add a splash of white wine or brandy to deglaze the pan which is a technique used to dissolve browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan, adding more flavor.
- Use a combination of fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, and rosemary for added flavor and aroma. Avoid using dried herbs as they tend to be less flavorful.
- Season the pâté generously with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Allow the pâté to cool completely before serving. This helps the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the pâté with toast, crackers, or bread slices. You can also garnish it with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
Conclusion:
With its rich, earthy flavor and velvety smooth texture, this mushroom pâté is a delightful appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. The umami-packed porcini mushrooms take center stage, while the addition of herbs and spices creates a symphony of flavors. Whether you're serving it at a party or enjoying it as a special treat, this mushroom pâté is sure to impress. So go ahead and indulge in this delectable creation, and savor every bite of its mushroomy goodness!
