- In go the sliced mushrooms, and cook until all the liquid released has been absorbed, and the mushrooms are golden brown - fresh mushrooms will cook quicker, whereas the frozen ones will take longer.
- Add the chopped parsley, and season well.
- Transfer everything to a blender, and add the soften butter too.
- Blitz to a smooth consistency.
- Divide the pate between 2 ramekins.
- Melt the remaining butter, and top the ramekins with it.

Notes
- I stored my pate for 3 days in the fridge, purely because it got consumed, but the butter lid can preserve it for a lot longer. I probably wouldn't store it for longer than a week though, I believe in fresh food wherever possible.
- You don't have to top with melted butter if you are planning to consume it straight away, but I do recommend chilling it in the fridge for at least an hour, it tastes a lot better cold.
