Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Clean and slice the mushrooms.
- Finely chop the onion.
- If your cashews are raw, lightly toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown.
- Chop the fresh parsley.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to season.
- Transfer the cooked mushrooms and onions to a food processor.
- Add the toasted cashews, the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, and the chopped parsley to the food processor.
- Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
- While the pâté is blending, toast the whole-wheat bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
- Spread a generous amount of the mushroom-cashew pâté onto each slice of toasted whole-wheat bread.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or a drizzle of olive oil for an extra touch of flavor.
- Serve immediately as an appetizer, snack, or light meal.
Tips:
- Ensure the mushrooms are thoroughly cleaned and dried before cooking to avoid excess moisture in the pate.
- Soak the cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes before blending to achieve a creamier texture.
- Blend the mixture until smooth for a fine, spreadable pate or pulse it a few times for a chunkier version.
- You can toast the whole-wheat bread slices to add a crunchy contrast to the smooth pate.
- Garnish the finished pate with a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.
- Store any leftover pate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
