Ingredients
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1 pound shiitake mushrooms, chopped (or mixed or wild mushroom of choice)*
2 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 cup roasted, unsalted cashews
1/4 cup avocado or olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
4 English cucumbers, sliced (for serving with pate)
Instructions
- *If fresh shiitake mushrooms are not in season, or you’re working on a budget, choose a less expensive wild mushroom (such as Portobello) and buy a small bag of dried shiitake mushrooms (2.5 to 4 ounces). Soak the dried mushrooms in the 1/3 cup of avocado oil, as the oil will absorb much of the exotic shiitake taste. Add the oil and hydrated. Add shiitake and Portobello mushrooms to the sauté pan.
- Heat avocado oil in a skillet on high heat. Add the scallions, mushrooms, garlic, curry, and cumin. Sauté for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a food processor, grind up cashews.
- Slowly add oil until it is a thick paste. Transfer nut paste into a bowl. Add mushroom mixture to food processor and purée. Transfer the mushroom mixture into the same bowl as nut mixture and fold them together. Season with pepper.
- Cover pate with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. As guests arrive, serve pate with cucumber canapés.

The recipe baking temperature and time is an estimate. Follow your own oven’s temperature and cooking time. It takes a gas oven 10-15 minutes to reach the desired temperature. Electric ovens can take 10 minutes longer than that. The age of your oven will also determine the temperature, time for roasting or baking, and where you want to place your dish in the oven. The bottom of your oven may be hotter than the top, depending on its condition. This also includes where to set your dish under the broiler. So use your own best judgment based on the type, condition, and age of your oven. Prep times will also vary depending on how slow or quickly you like to work.
