From the Candle 79 Cookbook: This versatile and rich-tasting pate is an all-time favorite appetizer at Candle 79 in New York City. It's lovely to serve at a party with cocktails or a crisp, organic white wine. Spoon it onto crostini made with your favorite bread or onto crackers, or serve it alongside a crudite platter. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 cup finely chopped shallot (80g) |
5 chopped portabella mushrooms |
1/2 lb chopped fresh spinach (225g) |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
3/4 cup vegan mayonnaise (180g) |
Directions:
1. Saute shallots and mushrooms in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until softened (about 5-7 minutes.) Transfer to a bowl.
2. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the spinach, garlic, salt and pepper and cook until the spinach is wilted (3-5 minutes).
3. Put everything in a food processor and process until smooth, about 3 minutes.
4. Transfer to a bowl and add the mayonnaise.
5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
6. Serve warm, chilled or at room temperature.
