Serves 6

Ingredients
  • 230g can of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup walnuts 
  • 1 medium onion, chopped 
  • 250g packet of mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped 
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 
  • 3-4 tbsps of vegetable broth 
  • 2 sprigs of sage, rosemary and thyme or 2 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3-4 tbsp water for frying 

Method
  1. Chop and fry onion for 5 mins in a little water, add the finely chopped mushrooms, garlic, herbs plus seasoning with a few turns of ground salt and pepper. 
  2. Cook this until the onions are soft on low heat, around 5 mins.
  3. Pulse the walnuts in the food processor until very fine.
  4. Add the onion mixture and the drained beans to the walnuts with the balsamic vinegar process until smooth, adding a few tbsp of the vegetable broth as needed until smooth, or you can pulse for a more textured consistency.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer.

Chill for at least an hour or more before using.

Your pâté will keep for at least a week in the refrigerator. It is always better to chill it overnight before using for it to 'mature'.
