Ingredients
5 tablespoons vegan butter; 1 1/4 pounds fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, or crimini mushrooms, very coarsely chopped; 1/2 cup chopped shallots (about 2 large); 2 garlic cloves, chopped; 1 3/4 teaspoons curry powder; 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 cup roasted salted cashews; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 tablespoons finely chopped mixed fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, and basil); Fresh parsley or basil sprigs (optional); 1 gluten-free baguette, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices, toasted
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms, shallots, and garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and the shallots are translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir in the curry powder and ground cumin, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. In a food processor, combine the mushroom mixture, roasted salted cashews, and olive oil. Process until smooth. Transfer the pâté to a bowl and stir in the finely chopped mixed fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the pâté with toasted gluten-free baguette slices and garnish with fresh parsley or basil sprigs, if desired.
