Mushroom Pate

This Mushroom Pâté recipe is one I refer to as the ’Land & Sea’ of party food.

The land is represented by the earthy, intense flavour of the mushrooms and thyme. The delicate flavour of the sea is represented in the succulent, pan seared scallops.

Mushroom Pâté and Seared Scallop Bruschetta

These elements are so very different from each other, but work so deliciously well together.

This also a 2 for 1 recipe in that the mushroom pate stands up deliciously on its own. Just serve it to serve on slices of baguette or with crackers.

The mushroom pâté alone a great vegetarian party food option too. You can use any mushrooms you like in this recipe or use a combination of types like crimini and sh*take to add even more depth of flavour.

Mushroom Pâté. A two for one recipe for a rich, earthy mushroom and pecan pâté that you can pair with seared scallops as an elevated hors d'oeuvre.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 cup finely diced shallots
  • 2 cups finely chopped mushrooms (chop, then measure)
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dry thyme)
  • pinch salt and pepper to season
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup finely ground toasted pecans
  • ¼ cup soft butter

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the garlic and shallots and sauté for only a few minutes until the shallots soften but do not brown.
  3. To the garlic and shallots add the mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms have shrunken and are just beginning to brown.
  4. Add the white wine and reduce until the liquid has practically cooked off.
  5. Let the mushroom mixture cool to room temperature before adding it to the food processor along with the ground toasted pecans.
  6. Process for a few minutes until the pate is completely smooth, then pulse in the softened butter until well combined and smooth.
  7. Transfer the pate to a serving dish, cover with plastic wrap and chill for several hours before serving.

Notes

To make the bruschetta simply toast small slices of baguette under the broiler. Top with a little of the mushroom pate and finally medium sized scallops that have been lightly pan seared in butter.
