Do I have your attention yet readers! Vegan Mushroom Pate with Truffle Oil! And it’s vegan, dairy free and gluten free!… and totally amazing!
I have a secret obsession with truffle at the moment… well perhaps it’s not that much of a secret, as just an outright obsession. I can’t get enough of that alluring, intoxicating fungi.
I decided I needed to jump on the mushroom and fungi band wagon and contribute my favourite mushroom and truffle recipe.
It’s so quick, easy and nutritious! The addition of balsamic vinegar to the pate and a lovely film of quality truffle oil to the top lifts this recipe to sublime.
