Mushroom-Walnut Pâté

 

1/4 cup water

3/4 lb. sliced fresh mushrooms

1/2 medium onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 lb. firm tofu, mashed

1/2 cup walnuts

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1 green bell pepper, cored and seeded

1/2 loaf of French bread

 

Heat the water in a medium skillet over medium heat, then cook the

mushrooms, onion, and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Put the

vegetables and tofu in a food processor or blender and purée until

smooth. Add the walnuts, salt, and pepper and purée for another 5

minutes.

Chill the pâté thoroughly. Slice the bell pepper into rings. Top thin

slices of crusty French bread with the rings, and fill the rings with

the pâté.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
