MUSHROOM PATÉ

From The Vegetarian Way

 

(This is great on Melba Toasts, or on sandwiches. It makes quite a

large amount.)

 

Make this wonderful, savory pâté with the rich flavor of mushrooms and

herbs a day ahead to give the flavors a chance to develop. Serve it

with pita wedges, party rye bread, or crackers.

 

INGREDIENTS

2 Tbs. minced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tbs. olive oil

1 lb. fresh mushrooms, chopped

2 Tbs. vegetable stock

1 Tbs. white flour

8 oz (1 cup) soft silken tofu

1/2 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. dried basil

1/2 tsp. dried marjoram (if you don’t have marjoram, double the amount

of oregano)

1 Tbs. vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

salt and pepper to taste

 

Sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil for 2 minutes. Add the

mushrooms and the vegetable stock. Cover and let the mixture cook until

mushrooms are completely tender. Mix in the flour thoroughly and sauté

for an additional 2 minutes, stirring mixture to keep it from sticking.

 

Place mushroom mixture and remaining ingredients into a food processor

or blender and process until they form a smooth pâté (you may need to

add a little water to smooth the mixture out). Refrigerate for at least

2 hours. Serve with crackers or spread on bread.

 

Serves 8.

With its unique blend of sweet and spicy flavors, we predict this quick

 

dip will become your new favorite party treat.

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 teaspoon salt

1-1/2 teaspoons curry powder

Vegetable crudités, Tortilla Chips, pita, or potato chips for dipping

 

Soak raisins in water while assembling other ingredients. In a blender

or food processor, combine remaining ingredients in the order listed.
