Mushroom Pate

Also in my "The Essential Fingerfood Cookbook", I found a wonderful mushroom pate recipe.  I had never made a pate before but it was very easy.  

Here is what you will need: 
1 1/4 oz of butter
1 tablespoon of oil
13 oz of chopped field mushrooms
2 crushed garlic cloves
3 chopped spring onions
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
3 1/2 oz of ricotta cheese
3 1/2 oz of cream cheese
2 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves

Here is what ya do:

Melt 1 1/4 oz of butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan.

Add 13 oz of chopped field mushrooms and two crushed cloves garlic

Cook until the mushrooms have softened and the mushroom liquid has evaporated. 
Stir in the 3 chopped  spring onions. 
 Allow to cool. 
Then process with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 3 1/2 oz ricotta cheese, 3 1/2 oz cream cheese and 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves.  
Process until smooth.  
Season, to taste then spoon into a serving dish, cover and chill for 2 hours. serves 8-10.
