If you’re looking for a meat-free alternative to your favourite fancy spread, this Vege-Tastic Mushroom Pât could be just what you’re looking for. As a kid I loved pât , but I admit that over the years the thought that it contained lived (it doesn’t always, but still) did turn me off a little. When I became vegetarian that fancy pât was one of the foods I missed, particularly at dinner parties.
Well, no more. Now I have this great mushroom pât recipe that is totally vegetarian, and totally delicious. Throw it together for your next dinner party, the mixture can absolutely be frozen and is a crowd-pleaser for sure!

300 gram Mushrooms-variety of your choice
2 tbsp Butter
2 tsp Garlic-minced
200 gram Cream cheese
0.3 cup Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Salt-or more, to taste
0.25 tsp Black pepper-or more, to taste

- Pop the mushroom mixture into the food processor and blend until smooth. Add the cream cheese and blend again. Stir through the parsley and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Leave to cool, and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavour to develop. Serve on crackers, or toasted bread topped with spring onions.
