140 g mushrooms, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 400 g tin of mixed beans, drained
1/2 teaspoon thyme

1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons vegan cream (I used alpro)
1 teaspoon tamari or soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
METHOD
In a pan, heat the coconut oil and vitalite and add the sliced mushrooms, garlic, thyme, allspice, black pepper, tamari and sea salt, and fry until the mixture becomes fairly dry.
Transfer to a food processor and add the beans and cream and blend until smooth.
Transfer to a small bowl and chill for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Serve with toast and a wedge of lemon.
RECIPE NOTES
Do try to use the allspice as this does give something special to the finished pate.
RECIPE TIPS
Do not skip the chilling time. It makes a HUGE difference to the taste and texture.

This is a must try and a recipe I suggest you master. A valuable source of protein and extremely delicious. Once mastered you will be using this in every recipe you can think of.
This is one of the most amazing tasting meat alternatives. Once cooked this can be sliced, diced or chopped to use in any of your recipes as a protein substitute. It works really well when sliced finely and used in sandwiches. This is a very versatile food.

Not only is this dip quick and easy to prepare but it is also absolutely delicious. You will be addicted. If you are a lover of chickpea style dips then you will be blown away by the amazing flavours. I like to serve this with raw vegetables and bread sticks.
