It all starts with some chopped red onion, cremini mushrooms, and olive oil. Cook those over medium heat until the onions and mushrooms begin to brown. Then add in minced garlic, herbs, and balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan. Cook for a few minutes longer.

    I made this twice over the holidays! My family is french and my mom always makes her famous pate (with chicken liver). I recently moved to a more plant-based diet and was looking for good alternatives. I made this for the whole family and it was gone before the other apero items! Sooooo good.

    This came out so well! I’ve shared the recipe. Thank you for posting it. Just a heads up we are oil free in our house and it is completely doable. 🙂

      Also, I substituted the whole cup of walnuts for half cup walnut, half cup pecan. I did this in order to give it a little varied depth in flavor. I highly recommend doing the same sometime. 🙂

    Just made this with sh*take mushrooms as needed using. Absolutely delicious, rich and full of flavour. Thank you for this recipe, will definitely be passing onto the rest of my vegan family.

    Hi! This recipe looks delicious. Are the rosemary and thyme fresh?

    Reply

    • Plantily

      I use fresh, but you should be able to sub dried. Just use a bit less as dried will have a more concentrated flavour.

    Is there something that I can use in place of miso? I won’t be able to get it in my small town…what about a little vegemite? Thank you!

    Reply

    • Plantily

      Yes, I think you could probably use vegemite. I'd start with less at first and then adjust to your taste. You could also omit the miso and just adjust the salt to taste. But vegemite would probably add a more complex flavour than salt alone.

    I made this for a New Years Eve gathering with vegan-gluten free friends. It was outstanding. The only thing I think I would do differently would be to purée it a bit longer, it was more like a rustic pate but delicious.

    Delicious!!!! Tasted amazing just as the recipe was written, but I wanted a little more funk flavor in mine so I added some Nooch, about 2 tablespoons, a quarter cup of white wine,, and a dash of Worcestershire

    Is there a substitute for white miso?

    Reply

    • Plantily

      You can leave it out and add a little more salt, to taste. Or add a dash of soy sauce, that would add salt and help with a more complex flavour.

    Thank you so much for this recipe. My friends go crazy for it and always demand I make it if they are coming over. Truth is I love it as well. It is perfect to spread on a fresh baguette and is an absolute taste sensation. I have made a lot of mediocre mushrooms pate's looking for the perfect recipe and you have nailed it

    Absolutely delicious! My only switch away from your original was to swap one tbsp of Balsamic for Worcestershire sauce (I’m a Brit and we can’t resist, but it does of course contain anchovies, so not for vegans). I only had dried herbs so used 1/2 the recipe measures and that worked beautifully.
    Soooo yummy, we’ll be making this one regularly.
    Thank you!

    Can this be made raw?

    • Plantily

      No, this recipe cannot be made raw. The flavour and texture would be significantly different.
