Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Spread slivered almonds in a shallow pan and toast in the oven for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  3. Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, salt, thyme, and pepper to the pan.
  5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and most of the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated.
  6. Allow the mushroom mixture to cool slightly.
  7. Place toasted almonds in a food processor or blender. Process until they form a fine meal.
  8. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil and process until the mixture forms a smooth, creamy paste.
  9. Add the cooled mushroom mixture to the almond paste.
  10. Process until the pâté is smooth and well combined.
  11. Transfer the pâté to a serving dish and chill in the refrigerator until set, about 1 hour.
