Ingredients

• 250 grams Button mushrooms
• 2 medium Shallots
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 100 grams Almonds
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 75 grams Cream cheese

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly. Peel and finely chop the shallots and garlic.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, letting the butter melt completely.

Step 3

Add the shallots and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in a separate dry skillet, lightly toast the almonds over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Let them cool slightly.

Step 6

Add the thyme, salt, and black pepper to the mushroom mixture and stir well. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked mushroom mixture and toasted almonds to a food processor. Add the lemon juice and cream cheese.

Step 8

Pulse the mixture in the food processor until it reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier pâté, pulse briefly; for a smoother texture, process longer.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer the pâté to a serving dish and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 10

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled with crackers, crostini, or vegetable sticks.
