Decadent wild mushroom toast - perfect for a party!
Ingredients:
  • 15g dried porcini mushrooms*
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) port
  • 20ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
  • 20.00 gm unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 300g mixed mushrooms (such as Swiss brown, button and oyster), sliced
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh thyme
  • 20ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
  • 50g cream cheese
  • 40.00 ml chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 5g gelatine powder
  • Toasted Turkish bread, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, combine porcini mushrooms, port, and one cup of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for five minutes. Set aside the mushrooms. Increase heat to boil the liquid until reduced to 2/3 cup. In the meantime, finely chop the porcini mushrooms.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large frying pan. Sauté onion over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic, reserved porcini, mixed mushrooms, and thyme. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Pour in 1/2 cup of port liquid and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until liquid is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
  • After the mixture has cooled, combine the mushrooms, cream cheese, and parsley in a food processor. Pulse until creamy with a slightly textured consistency. Transfer the pate to a serving dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to cool.
  • After chilling the pate, soak the gelatine leaf in cold water to soften. Warm the reserved port liquid. Squeeze out excess water from the gelatine and add it to the warm port, stirring gently over low heat until fully dissolved.
  • Let the mixture cool down slightly, then elegantly drizzle the port jelly over the pate. Enjoy on a bed of Turkish bread or crackers.
