Ingredients
Directions
Put the mushrooms in a small bowl and pour the hot water over them. Leave to soak for 1 to 2 hours, until softened.
Remove the hydrated mushrooms from the water and put them in a high-speed blender. Put a mesh strainer over the blender and line it with a coffee filter or paper towel. Strain the soaking liquid through the filter directly into the blender.
Add the lentil sprouts, mung bean sprouts, walnuts, sun-dried tomatoes, coconut aminos, vinegar, marjoram, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne, cumin, and salt and blend, starting on low speed and working your way up to high, until very smooth, about 5 minutes, stopping to prevent the mixture from getting too warm and to scrape the sides of the machine as needed.
Add the oil and blend until incorporated. Taste and add more vinegar and/or salt to your Vegan Pâté if needed.
Chef’s Notes
Substitutions
In place of porcini mushrooms try another dried mushroom of your choice.
In place of cayenne try paprika.
In place of apple cider vinegar try lemon juice.
Oil-Free
In place of sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil try sun-dried tomatoes that are packed in water or that are dried.
In place of olive oil, try tahini or unsweetened, plain plant-based yogurt.
Optional Garnishes
Chopped fresh parsley, snipped chives, a sprinkle of paprika, extra lentil sprouts, extra minced sun-dried tomatoes, sliced raw pickles, or pickled red onions are all great options.
Prep Ahead
Soak the mushrooms ahead of time.
Storage
The vegan pâté will keep, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 5 days.
