Mushroom and lentil pâté
Vegan mushroom and lentil pâté is a delicious spread, the taste of which will appeal to everyone. The basis of this pâté are mushrooms fried with onion, canned lentils and walnuts. I seasoned it with a bit of truffle oil, which prevents it from having a bland taste. If you haven’t tried such a pâté yet, I recommend the following recipe for mushroom and lentil pâté.

Dice the onion, cut the mushrooms into slices, then put the cut vegetables in a frying pan. Add the oil and fry over a low heat for 20 minutes. Once done, allow the fried mushrooms to cool down.
Cut the dried tomatoes into strips, chop the walnuts finely, drain the lentils from the brine. Place the cold mushrooms, tomatoes, walnuts, lentils, pepper, salt and truffle oil into a blender.

Good to know when making mushroom and lentil pâté.
You can replace walnuts with pecans.
You can also use dry lentil grains to prepare the pâté. I recommend green lentils – the lentil grains should be soaked in cold water before cooking.
