Supperclub has become quite an exciting prospect for me, so much so that I’m trying out recipes on almost a daily basis.
Mushroom pate is my new favourite veggie starter, so for this version I soaked some porchini, ripped apart a bunch of different mushrooms including my favourite ‘family basics’ pack form Sainsbury’s… so tasty, so cheap. I fried the fresh mushrooms in large gulp of little olive oil and added what seemed at the time to be a little too much tarragon, then just a little chopped fresh rosemary.
A handful of shallots that I’d painstakingly peeled and sliced (I always swear never to use them again when remembering how long they take to prepare), were added to the frying mushrooms, and after a while of intermittent stiring I threw in a slug of brandy and big dollop of left over crème fraiche. Adding enough salt and pepper to satisfy I then blitzed the lot and left in the fridge to set in ramekins, with fresh sage leaves and melted butter on the top to seal. I served these later that day with soda bread to much um-ing and ah-ing from me but cheerful appreciation from my guinea pig tasters.
