Instructions

Chop the mushrooms, shallots, carrot and garlic.
Put one tablespoon of the butter and/or olive oil in a saute pan on medium heat then add the chopped ingredients. Saute for about 15 minutes, until the mushrooms are slightly browned.
Stir in the capers, and remove from the heat.
Place the mixture into a food processor and blend until homogenous. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and continue to process until relatively smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Use a spatula to put into a serving bowl, and serve with fresh or toasted bread (preferably), or crackers. Keep leftovers refrigerated.

Notes

Omit the butter to make this vegan.
