Serve up this flavourful vegan appetizer with some sliced baguette for a delicious party dish!
Add onion, mushrooms and olive oil to a pan and sauté over medium heat until the onions and mushrooms soften and start to caramelize.
Deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar and add in chopped rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes.
Let the mushroom and onion mixture cool slightly before adding it to a food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until the pate becomes smooth and spreadable. Once blended, test the flavour and add salt (or any other ingredients) to taste.
*You may need to scrape down the sides of your food processor when blending.
Serve immediately or store pate in the fridge. Pate is traditionally served between cold and room temperature.
*You can substitute dried rosemary and thyme. If using dried, use a scant tablespoon of rosemary and a scant teaspoon of thyme.
