About

An easy pâté to make, and a delicious one when eaten with wholewheat toast or oatmeal biscuits/crackers. It is the nearest thing I have made to that millstone around the vegetarian’s neck, the nut loaf, but I must admit this is particularly good.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
450 g/1 lb mushrooms, finely sliced

Method

Heat the oil and cook the mushrooms, onion and garlic until soft. Blend to a rough purée. Pour into a mixing bowl and add the rest of the ingredients. Press down in a dish and refrigerate for a few hours. Garnish with watercress.
