Let me just state that I didn’t anticipate like pâté. I’ve never been a fan of meat, and the thought of mixed meat on a cracker doesn’t even somewhat appeal to me.
I thus assumed it would never happen when I first received a request for a vegan pâté recipe. But as I was organizing my holiday schedule and thinking of recipes for appetizers, it suddenly occurred to me: mushroom pâté. Oh, this may be good!
WTF IS PTE?

Traditionally, liver is used to make pâté. It is sometimes made into a loaf and combined into a paste. I honestly don’t know what it tastes like, despite the fact that others have told me it’s good.
WHAT TASTE DOES VEGAN PÉTÉ HAVE?

I’m very certain that this does not taste like pâté made from beef. However, it is very excellent!
Surprise! Mushrooms taste like mushrooms in this pâté. However, the presence of two varieties of mushrooms (cremini and oyster) as well as truffle oil resulted in extremely potent, delectable, and savory mushrooms.
To give this vegan pâté some texture and a tinge of nutty flavor, I added walnuts.
You’ll need to practice some serious self-control if you like nuts and mushrooms.
YOU’LL NEED Vegan butter as an ingredient. Search for companies with names like Earth Balance and Miyoko’s.
mushroom freshness We’re using a combination of oyster and cremini mushrooms. Although I truly enjoy the harmony of tastes and textures in this specific blend, you may use other fresh mushroom kinds if they are not readily available. All kinds of mushrooms would be suitable, including button, portobellos, oyster, and maitake.
Shallots.
Garlic
.drier sherry If you don’t often purchase this, white wine will suffice as a substitute. For an alcohol-free variation of the meal, you can omit it. If and when you do decide to purchase sherry, be careful to confirm with Barnivore that it is vegan.
recent thyme I don’t suggest using dried thyme in place of fresh in this specific recipe.
Walnuts. Hazelnuts, pecans, and pine nuts are other kind of nuts that might be suitable.
truffle oil in white. This ingredient gives the dish a ton of flavor. Don’t skip it, please!
Pepper and salt.
VEGAN MUSHROOM PÉTÉ: HOW TO MAKE IT
Making this mushroom pâté is not too difficult.
In a big skillet, warm up some vegan butter first. Be sure to use plenty of butter here! The taste of the mushrooms will be enhanced by browning them in butter. Add the cremini mushrooms, now in slices. They ought to fit comfortably in the skillet in a single layer. You should prepare them in two batches if they don’t. The mushrooms should be cooked for five minutes on each side. They need to be soft and gently browned on both sides by this point. Eliminate them from the skillet.
Repeat the process with oyster mushrooms after adding more butter to the pan. It might be challenging to turn each and every mushroom because of their unusual shapes. Instead, I sauté them for a few minutes, toss them with a spatula, cook them for a few more minutes, and then toss them once more. They normally darken very uniformly as a result of this. Add the oyster mushrooms and cremini mushrooms to the platter after removing the oyster mushrooms from the pan.
When the skillet is hot, add a little extra butter and then some shallots. Add some garlic after the shallots have cooked for approximately 5 minutes, or until they are tender.
The cooking time for the garlic is simply approximately a minute. To prevent burning, watch it closely!
Return the mushrooms to the skillet after adding some dry sherry and thyme. As soon as the liquid reaches a simmer, continue cooking it until the majority of the liquid has evaporated.
The meal is finished! It’s time to mix the pâté. Add some walnuts, truffle oil, and salt to the contents of the pan in the bowl of a food processor. It should be blended until it is as smooth or chunky as you choose.

Your pâté can be chilled for later use or served right away. Serve it with some crackers or slices of bread.
RESIDUE & STORAGE
Vegetarian pâté may be frozen for approximately three months or kept in the refrigerator for about three days in a tight container.
Is truffle oil actually required?
Actually, no. If you exclude it, the recipe will still turn out, but the flavor won’t be the same. Truffle oil enhances taste so much!
How are mushrooms prepared for pâté?
Make careful to serve it with something to spread it on if you serve it as an appetizer or snack. Although crackers also work, I like my pâté on toasted baguette pieces.
