Mushroom Pate Recipe
An easy appetizer, this spread is savory and great with crackers. This spread also works well on sandwiches. Great flavor and texture, and simple to make. Vegan, glutenfree and under 30 minutes to make. I usually make this appetizer with walnuts; but I've substituted them for sunflower seeds in this video for anyone that may be allergic to nuts. Super delicious both ways!
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces of cremini mushrooms, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
4-5 sprigs of fresh thyme (or about 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup sunflower seeds or walnuts; soaked in hot water for 15 minutes, then drained
water as needed to blend
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until lightly browned. Add in the garlic and cook for about another minute. Then add the white wine, thyme and salt, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. When cooled, add this mixture and the sunflower seeds or walnuts to a food processor. Process until you have a paste, adding in a little water as needed for proper consistency. Pour mixture into a container and place in the fridge until ready to serve.

Pink Mushroom Toast
Super rough recipe below bc it's just toast so add what you like, always taste as you go, and enjoy!
1️⃣ Brush any excess dirt off the mushrooms and chop any big ones into smaller equal pieces.
2️⃣ Make your spread with 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1/2 tbsp tahini, a squeeze of lemon juice, 1 tsp of honey, and pinch of salt. Mix, taste, and adjust any ingredients to taste.
3️⃣ Add some butter or EVOO to your pan, add mushrooms, after a minute add a few minced garlic cloves, a sprinkle of sumac, a sprinkle of red chili flakes, and a sprinkle of salt. Sauté for just a few minutes until mushrooms are all a golden color.
4️⃣ On your toasted bread of choice, add a layer of the spread, then some greens (I used wild arugula here), the mushrooms, and some za'atar mixed with a bit of olive oil to drizzle on top.

For the Onions / Shallots:
1 yellow onion or 2 large shallots, diced
2 Tbsp olive oil or butter
Set a 10 inch skillet over medium heat. Add oil or butter, onions, and salt. Cook stirring occasionally until translucent and golden brown, but not crisp. You might need to reduce heat to medium-low towards the end of cooking. This will take about 15 minutes for onions, 10 minutes for shallots. If you want to see the details of this process, here is a video:
For Mushroom Duxelles:

4 large portobello mushrooms or a 1.5 Lb button mushrooms, diced
1/4 cup of dry white wine
Cooked onions (see above)
2 Tbsp heavy cream
2 Tbsp sour cream
Salt and black pepper to taste
Set a 12 inch skillet over high heat. Add oil and butter. When butter melts, add the mushrooms, salt, and wine. Cover immediately and cook until mushrooms release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Uncover and cook to evaporate all the liquid. Reduce heat to medium and cook until browned, stirring occasionally. Add the cooked onions and cream. Scrape up the brown bits and take off heat. Season with black pepper and cool until warm (or room temp). Puree in a food processor with 2 Tbsp sour cream until coarsely chopped. Taste and adjust for salt.
