Jamie Oliver Mushroom Pate (Print Version)
Earthy mushroom pâté blended with herbs and hints of chili, served chilled as a flavorful spread.
# Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
10 ounces mixed mushrooms, finely chopped
02 -
1 medium onion, finely chopped
03 -
3 garlic cloves, minced
04 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Seasonings
05 -
1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
06 -
1 teaspoon dried thyme or a generous sprinkle of fresh thyme
07 -
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Binding Agent
08 -
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
# Steps:
01 -
Warm the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and aromatic, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
02 -
Incorporate the finely chopped mushrooms, chili powder if using, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Sauté the mixture, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their liquid and become tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
03 -
Remove the pan from the heat and transfer contents to a food processor. Add breadcrumbs, then pulse until the mixture is evenly combined and still textured.
04 -
Place the finished mushroom mixture into a serving bowl. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the pate to firm before serving with toast, crackers, or crudités.
# Notes:
01 -
Allowing the pate to properly chill intensifies the flavors and ensures a better texture for spreading.
