Ingredients
- ½ cup walnuts
- 1 small yellow onion minced
- ½ pound baby bella mushrooms washed, dried, and sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ⅛ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder or cinnamon
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F/165 degrees C. When the oven is hot, put the walnuts in a pan, put them in the oven, and toast until fragrant, shaking occasionally, around 7 minutes. Transfer to a shallow bowl to cool.
- Meanwhile, put the oil and the onion in a skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. Sprinkle with a little salt. When the onion starts to sizzle, add the mushrooms and Five-Spice powder (or cinnamon), season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned, around 8 minutes.
- Transfer the mushroom mixture to a food processor, add the walnuts, and process until you have a smooth pate. Transfer to a bowl and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes
- Wipe, don’t wash: So the mushrooms don’t soak up excess liquid.
- For more complex flavor: Use a blend of Cremini and other mushrooms (like Shiitake/other wild mushrooms).
- Season to taste: Taste it after blending and adjust.
- Adjust the texture: Typically, pate is smooth, but feel free to blend it to your desired consistency – a little rustic texture can be nice.
