This easy vegan pate is the perfect starter or lunch time dish and is great for using up those Christmas leftovers! Give this vegan mushroom pate recipe a whirl.

Vegan
Easy

Ingredients

  • 200g chopped mushrooms

  • 1 onion

  • 6 cloves garlic

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten free

  • 1 tsp dried thyme

  • 1 tsp dried rosemary

  • 1 1/2 tsp dried sage

  • 1/2 tsp pepper

  • Salt to taste

  • 60g walnuts

  • Water (for blending)

Method

1

Dice the onions, finely chop the garlic and chop the mushrooms.

2

In a frying pan, heat the olive oil and then add the onions and fry for a couple of minutes until they start to turn translucent.

3

Add the garlic, mushrooms, pepper and herbs.

4

Continue to fry until the mushrooms have shrunk down and their liquid has evaporated. If the mushrooms are a bit dry, add a splash of water.

5

Remove from the heat and stir in the soy or tamari sauce.

6

In another pan, toast the walnuts over a medium high heat until they’re golden brown. Stir frequently.

7

When the nuts and mushrooms have cooled down enough, combine them in a blender. Blend whilst gradually adding a splash of water until you have a spreadable texture. (The amount of water you need will vary, so start off slowly. If you have a high-speed blender, you may not need to add any).

8

Add salt to taste and blend again before serving.

The benefits of eating vegan pate

Step 1

Well, if you’re vegan and you happen to love pate, then one of the main, and most obvious, benefits is that you still get to eat it! Secondly, there are some health benefits to eating vegan pate, depending on what it’s been made from or what you’ve chosen to make it with (if you’re making it yourself, that is).

What do vegans eat?

Well, as the stat immediately above indicates, vegans don’t eat any food that comes from animals, such as meat, dairy products and eggs. But they do eat plants and food that’s made from plants.3

What vegans DO EAT4

  • Fruit and veg
  • Nuts and seeds
  • Dairy alternatives, such as soy, almond and coconut milk
  • Legumes, e.g. peas, lentils and beans
  • Vegetable oils
  • Bread, rice and pasta

What vegans DON’T EAT

  • Beef, pork, lamb, and other red meat
  • Chicken, duck, and other poultry
  • Fish and shellfish
  • Eggs
  • Mayonnaise (because it’s made from egg yolks)
  • Dairy products, e.g. cream, cheese, butter milk
  • Honey

Pate is typically made from animals, usually ground cow, pig, liver or fish, so is one of the foods that can’t be eaten on a vegan diet.5 We say ‘typically’ because it’s also possible to have vegan pate that’s not made from animal products and can therefore be enjoyed by vegans.
