My Mushroom Pate

I love the idea of pate, but really struggle to eat it because I can't stand offal. As such, I've played around with a few ingredients and come up with my own vegetarian one that's absolutely delicious and so, so easy to make!

It's tasty on crackers, in sandwiches, on bruschetta... I love it on lightly toasted granary bread, topped with crispy bacon, gherkin, and sliced tomato.

Give it a whirl & let me know what you think!
