    What is mushroom pate?

    Mushroom pate (often called a vegan faux gras) is a spread that is made with mushrooms and tofu rather than animal byproducts.

    I like that this spread is so easy to make and can also be used as a dip.

    Have you tried my recipe for Vegan Spreadable Cheese ?

    That spreadable cheese is made with nutritional yeast and raw cashews instead of actual cheese. Both this recipe for pate and that recipe for spreadable cheese would go great when served together with my 5 Seed Crackers .

    To make this recipe you will need firm tofu. You can find a selection of tofu here.

    Why we love tofu and mushroom pate.

    This is an easy copycat recipe that that tastes as good as the original, but without the meat.
    It is also friendly to the vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free diets.

    Here is what else we like about this recipe.

    • Pate goes great when served with crackers or sliced bread as an appetizer.
    • Stirring in a bit more vegan milk or some vegan butter can make this into a dip for veggies or chips.
    • This recipe is perfect for gatherings such as holiday parties, tailgates, or even summer potlucks.
    • Personalizing this recipe is as easy as adding chopped onions or nuts.
    • While perfect for serving as a spread or a dip, this tofu can easily be used in making a sandwich (just add lettuce and sliced tomatoes!).
    • Mushroom tofu pate really tastes like the real stuff too!

    Ingredients needed to make pate from mushrooms.

    • Olive Oil Used for sautéing the ingredients.
    • Mushrooms. Cremini mushrooms were used in making this spread however, portobello mushrooms could also work. I like to remove the dirt and trim the ends of the stems first. Your mushrooms should be sliced to about a half inch wide.
    • Tofu. Use firm tofu that has been cut into one inch cubes.
    • Onion. Your onions should be diced.
    • Seasonings- thyme, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
    • Plant Based Milk. Nut milk for a more spreadable spread or oat milk for a thicker texture.

    1. Avoid over-processing the ingredients for a true pate texture.
    2. When processing your ingredients, it may be a good idea to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

    4. Pressing your tofu before slicing it can remove excess water. This can make your pate creamier and more spreadable.
    5. Take your pate up a notch by adding red pepper flakes or teaspoon or two of lemon juice.
    6. Serve this pate on a charcuterie board with sliced veggies, bread, crackers, and nuts for an impressive party presentation.
