Description

Imagine a luscious spread, earthy and rich, that captures the very essence of the forest floor. This mushroom pate is a celebration of simple ingredients transformed into an elegant and deeply satisfying experience. We begin with a harmonious pairing of cremini and intensely flavored porcini mushrooms, their distinct personalities melding together to create a symphony of umami.

The creminis provide a delicate, almost sweet base, while the porcinis contribute a robust, woodsy depth that lingers on the palate. Fragrant garlic, sautéed to golden perfection, infuses the mushrooms with its pungent aroma, adding a layer of complexity that awakens the senses. A sprinkle of marjoram, with its slightly sweet and floral notes, brightens the earthy tones, creating a beautifully balanced flavor profile.

The pate is smooth and creamy, yielding effortlessly to the touch, making it a versatile delight for any occasion. Spread it generously on toasted baguette slices for a rustic appetizer, or serve it alongside crispbreads for a more refined presentation. It's equally at home as a sophisticated addition to a cheese board, complementing both mild and sharp cheeses.

For an extra touch of elegance, consider adding a delicate porcini jelly. Its subtle sweetness and shimmering appearance will elevate the pate to new heights. Whether you're looking to impress guests with a sophisticated starter or simply seeking a moment of culinary indulgence, this mushroom pate is sure to captivate your taste buds.

Its depth of flavor and velvety texture make it an irresistible treat that you'll want to savor again and again. This pate is more than just a spread; it's an experience, a journey into the heart of the forest with every delectable bite.

Instructions

    1.
    Begin by preparing the mushrooms and shallot. Set aside the dried porcini. Chop or slice the cremini mushrooms, removing the stems. Peel and finely chop the shallot.
    2.
    In a small pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Rehydrate the porcini mushrooms by simmering them in the hot water for 5-10 minutes, or until they are soft and fully rehydrated.
    3.
    Melt the butter in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add the cremini mushrooms and shallots, cooking until they are tender and fully cooked, approximately 5 minutes.
    4.
    Pour the contents of the skillet into a food processor. Transfer the rehydrated porcini mushrooms to the processor as well, reserving the hot water for the gelee. Add the garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and marjoram.
    5.
    Pulse the ingredients until they are well combined. Then, add the ricotta cheese and continue to pulse until you achieve a smooth, consistent pate.
    6.
    Arrange the mushroom pate in your desired dish or dishes. You can serve it as is or proceed to create the optional gelee topping.
    7.
    Place the prepared mushroom pate in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, pour approximately 1 cup of the reserved porcini water into a wide skillet. Stir in the remaining gelee ingredients (xanthan gum).
    8.
    Over very low heat, allow the gelee to thicken, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the consistency of a loose applesauce. It will reduce slightly during this process.
    9.
    Spoon or pour the thickened gelee over the top of the pate, aiming for a layer that is approximately ¼ to ½ inch thick.
    10.
    Place the topped pate in the refrigerator. Allow the gelee to set for 3-4 hours, depending on the desired thickness.
