Italian Mushroom Pate - cooking recipe

Ingredients

300 g mushrooms (peeled and chopped)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 large garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon thyme (dried)
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs

Preparation

Add 1 tbls olive oil to a medium pan (not a non-stick frying pan)
Finely Chop the onion and fry with the crushed garlic until soft, just before they start to brown.
Add the chopped mushrooms, chili and thyme and continue cooking until the mushrooms are soft. Be carful not to overcook, as the mushrooms will make the mixture too liquid.
Try the mixture and add salt and pepper to taste.
Take off the heat, add the remaining olive oil and breadcrumbs and mix in a blender. I suggest not blending for too long and the pate will have a nice coarse texture.
Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
Comment:. This is quite spicy so you may want to use less chili. Or perhaps more!
