Mushroom Pâté Makes A Great Vegetarian Nosh
It's not just for frozen drinks anymore! That's right, your blender is one useful appliance. We've been reminded of this very obvious (but important) fact in author Rebecca Ffrench's new Ultimate Blender Cookbook. Suddenly sauces, baking and even burgers have taken on new life. Make a pâté every guest at the party will enjoy by enlisting mighty mushrooms.
Woodsy and earthy, this tasty terrine makes an impressive vegetarian appetizer. Spread it on a warm, crusty piece of baguette and you'll leave your guests swooning. If you have leftover pâté, heat it up in a skillet with a little cream and chicken broth for a quick yet exquisite pasta sauce.
