Walnut Mushroom Pâté

Walnut Mushroom Pâté

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw walnuts
  • 1/2 lb. mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 4-5 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Roast the walnuts in the oven for 5-8 minutes until they are slightly darker in color. Set aside.

Add the mushrooms and onion to a skillet and sauté over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, adding a little water along the way to keep from sticking.

Add the garlic, rosemary, black pepper and continue to sauté for a couple more minutes.

Add the parsley and sauté for another minute.

Pour this mixture into the food processor with the vinegar and the walnuts and pulse a few times. Use a spatula to scrape the sides and pulse a couple more times, but don’t overdo it. This dip should have a coarse texture.
