Mushroom Pate - any recipes?

[CEB]

I have been a bit lax recently :break_diet: so am back on it from today. I have a real craving for mushroom pate and am thinking mushroom and quark plus ???

Has anyone got any ideas, I have done a search of the forum but not getting anything.

Thanks

Are you a veggie my lovely? I have a chicken liver pate recipe that you could adapt. Chop an onion, lightly cook til soft with frylight, a couple of crushed garlic cloves and some mixed herbs. Add some chopped bacon (optional if you're veggie) then your chicken livers (or in your case, shrooms) - when everything's cooked, whizz in a blender. Add quark or natural yogurt or fromage frais til you get your required consistency. Season to taste.

I use the tesco roast mushroom pate which is not too bad on the syn front. Can't remember how many of the top of my head though - something like 2 or 3 for a quarter of the tub. I'll check for you.

Thanks Vixx, will try that out, I'm not veggie but just like my veggie food!

Thanks Circs, I love tesco mushroom pate but I have to eat the whole lot, 1/4 tub just won't do, so need to make my own so I don't feel too bad!

I adapted Vix paté using a clove of garlic and a handful of shallots fried in frylight. Added a drained tin of mushrooms and a sprinkling of herbs, salt and pepper. I then added a handful of ham chunks and whizzed it with a couple of teaspoons of fromage frais. Will be having it for dinner tonight, but the sneak preview says it's pretty good.

Confirmed - it is good, but not as good as the chicken liver paté on Vixxster's blog.
