Description

Easy Mushroom Pâté (Vegan) is a rich, savory spread that makes any snack board feel special. This simple plant-based appetizer brings earthy mushroom flavor and a creamy texture to parties, lunches, and cozy evenings at home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) cremini mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 medium yellow onion (about 150 g), diced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil

  • ¼ cup (30 g) walnuts

  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

  • ¼ tsp salt, or to taste

  • 2–4 tbsp (30–60 ml) vegetable broth, optional


Instructions

  • Clean and slice the mushrooms, dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the parsley.

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  • Add the onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes until soft and lightly golden.

  • Add the mushrooms and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until their moisture evaporates and the edges turn golden.

  • Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.

  • Add the soy sauce and black pepper, then stir to combine.

  • Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the lemon juice and parsley. Let the mixture cool slightly.

  • Transfer the mushroom mixture to a food processor and add the walnuts.

  • Blend until smooth or slightly chunky, scraping down the sides as needed.

  • Add vegetable broth one tablespoon at a time if the pâté needs a smoother consistency.

  • Taste and adjust the salt and seasonings.

  • Transfer the pâté to an airtight container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  • Serve chilled or slightly softened with toasted bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
