If you saw videos of geese being forced fed by all their lives, you would never have pate again! Mushroom pate is a great and even better replacement. Thank you Rik!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. Best, Rik

[@georgekostaras]

You’re easily the happiest chef on KZbin. And i appreciate all the dishes and recipes you provide

[@BackyardChef]

You're very welcome - glad you enjoy! Best, Rik

[@JMN-n2j3EBE777]

I can make this vegan with vegan cream ‘cheese’ and a little oil rather than butter. I think it will work! You are always coming up with something different but easy. ❤❤❤

[@BackyardChef]

Yes it will work. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@pamdawson8598]

I think I will blend some cooked butter beans to creamy smooth and substitute that for the cheese. Or cooked cauliflower blended.

[@JMN-n2j3EBE777]

@ I like the sound of the butter beans. I am not vegan or vegetarian, but my daughter and partner are. I do not like the vegan version of ‘cheese’. Do not know what is in it, but butter beans I know and like and they eat lots of different pulses. Thanks for the suggestion! 👏

[@vicleomant8519]

Yep vegan butter works - done it and it’s great😊 (and vegan cream cheese) actually going to use this with chestnuts to make a vegan beef Wellington this Christmas 🎄

[@jillmcdonald1714]

I’m not vegan or vegetarian or anything else abnormal, to me anyway, but I Love Mushrooms and might be able to live on them alone! Thanks for this yummy looking recipe. Love your channel, Rik

[@BackyardChef]

I totally agree! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@annikee5925]

Several conditions (like gout) make liver a no-no. Mushroom Pâté is a wonderful replacement. Thanks Rik!

[@BackyardChef]

Good call! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@belindagordon8847]

Love your channel chef Rick. This pate looks delicious. Would you be so kind to show us vol e vonts and maybe some filling ideas please.

[@BackyardChef]

Great idea Thank You. Best, Rik

[@tinkerbell9399]

I've been looking for an easy mushroom pate recipe for a while. Tesco do a mushroom pate, but the tub is so small, you can just about cover 2 slices of toast with it! Expensive as well! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! New subscriber here too!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank You. Best, Rik

[@Ejuicey]

Delicious. I could give up meat if I had unlimited mushrooms, love them, we go foraging every year

[@BackyardChef]

That sounds like fun. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@essiebessie661]

The northwest of the US and BC coast are great for that too! Love it!

[@Ejuicey]

UK here, south coast. Autumn is best time​@@essiebessie661

[@Derek-r2t]

Nice one Rik. Can't get fresh mushrooms here, only canned. Not using that to do this. Thanks for sharing.

[@Pithead]

@@Derek-r2t Just drain them and cook them out. Still be ok'ish.

[@di_tattoolover]

I've just made this.. And had some for my lunch, with some homemade Green Tomato Chutney, The rest for the freezer. Absolutely delicious, Cheers Rik,

[@BackyardChef]

Wonderful! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@stevea2588]

This was so delicious! I used Crimini mushrooms (baby Portobello). I'm going to try it again with a bit of sage and rosemary as well and see how it tastes.

[@BackyardChef]

Lovely! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@hansdampf4055]

Nice recipe! I have already made the spread with smoked salmon and cream cheese and it was very good. That's why I'm going to try it out. 👍

[@BackyardChef]

Wonderful! Thank You. Best, Rik

The best compliment. Thank You, Merry Christmas. Best, Rik

[@johnbaldwin143]

Very, very nice Rik. I always have loads of mushrooms of all varieties. Mainly because I make your creamy mushroom sauce. So this is one for me too.

[@BackyardChef]

Sounds great! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

I love vegetarian pates, my favourite being roasted carrot pate. It’s delicious with a little bit of spice in. xx

[@BackyardChef]

Yes a little ginger and cumin. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@andrewgreen3167]

Another great idea. Will give this one a go. My only problem is you post more great recipes than I have time to make. I can’t keep up!

You are very welcome! It is great you enjoyed it so much. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@jmckee454]

Thank you, Chef! I used to be able to purchase a vegetarian mushroom pâté but, it's no longer available. I miss it. You have helped me out of my sad nostalgia! I will be trying this recipe soon, just in time for holiday 😊🩷

You are so welcome. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@evocationart8370]

I can’t keep up with you tonight Rik! Non stop fabulous recipes my mouth is watering 😂❤

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks so much. Best, Rik

[@marianagabel8361]

Thank you so much for this recipe. I am not a vegetarian myself, but I am caring for my 92 year old mother who is. And we both love onions and mushrooms. We have that a couple of times every week served with either mashed potatoes or boiled with a cream gravy without any flour. 🌹❤️🌹 Here vegetarians eat eggs and dairy products so for us this is vegetarian

[@BackyardChef]

Wonderful - hope you enjoy thank you. Best, Rik

[@pauline3379]

Love, love, love mushrooms and that pate looks great, it will make a lovely change from salmon pate (I can't stand offal in any shape or form) thanks Rik, your vegetarian recipes are brilliant.

[@BackyardChef]

Hope you enjoy. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@jennyt966]

I do love mushrooms. That looks delicious. I think I'm going to prefer this to the chicken liver patè. Thanks, Rik.

[@BackyardChef]

Hope you enjoy. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@JMN-n2j3EBE777]

Made and in the freezer, all ready for Christmas! Sampled it on my toast for tea.. really nice, not too strong a mushroom flavour, I used walnuts which I could taste now and then and instead of the cheese I used butter beans. Next time I will try it with the cheese! ❤🤗

[@BackyardChef]

Yes a really nice pate this one for a change - Thank You. Best, Rik

[@muryoung7108]

Similar to one I create. I will certainly make this version too. Thanks Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Nice one! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@heathers9599]

Delicious! How long would it store in the fridge please? Watching from Australia.

[@BackyardChef]

Seal over the top with butter or seal in with cling wrap easily 5 -7 days. Freeze. Thank You. Best, Rik

Love shrooms, must give this a go. I tend to avoid commercial meat pates, as I suspect it's mostly mechanically recovered gunk. Cashews and hazelnuts for me though, I hate walnuts, pecans and almonds.

That's a how long is a piece of string. How much do you cook.? Thank You. Best, Rik
