How to Make Mushroom Pâté
Traditional Recipe and Thermomix.
Today I will offer you a delicious recipe, easy to make, but that will make a great impression. You can use it on slices of bread or as a cream to accompany chicken or game meat. It only takes a few minutes and very few ingredients. No special type of mushrooms is needed, you can use what you have on hand, for example, I used champignons, but if you have porcini, the pâté will be much tastier.
