Time 6h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup raw pistachios
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
1/2 small red onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup quartered shitake mushrooms
4 to 6 half-dried figs, halved
1/4 cup Marsala wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 scallion, chopped fine
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Pita chips, as garnish

Steps:

  • Put seeds and nuts in a medium bowl and cover with water. Soak the nuts for about 6 hours. Drain, rinse, and drain again.
  • Reduce vinegar in a small, heavy bottom of saucepan, on medium heat, until syrupy, about 30 minutes.
  • In a saute pan, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil over high heat. Add in the onions, lower to medium high and saute for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the mushrooms and continue to saute. Once the onions and mushrooms are browned, remove from heat.
  • Rehydrate the figs in the Marsala on low heat in a small pan for about 10 minutes. Strain, reserving figs and Marsala and set aside.
  • In food processor, add in the nuts, remaining oil, mushrooms, onions, basil, scallions, salt, pepper, and the Marsala drained from the figs. Blend well and adjust seasoning. Make sure the mixture is smooth.
  • Spoon mixture onto a chip, place a fig on top and drizzle with balsamic syrup.

This pâté was easy to make and turned out great! I used a food processor to chop the mushrooms and nuts, which made it really quick. I also added a little bit of garlic and onion powder for extra flavor. It was a hit at my party!

This pâté was really good, but it was a lot of work to make. I had to chop the mushrooms and nuts by hand, which took a long time. I also had to cook the mushrooms for a long time to get them soft enough. Overall, it was worth the effort, but I would

This pâté was a little too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more herbs and spices. The texture was also a bit too smooth for me. I prefer a pâté with a little more chunkiness.

I made this pâté for my vegan friends and they loved it! I used a variety of mushrooms, including shiitake, oyster, and cremini, and the flavor was incredible. The nuts added a nice crunch and texture. I'll definitely be making this again.
