Low Fat Mushroom And Red Wine Pate Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large (12- to 14-inch) skillet or sauté pan. Add pancetta and cook on medium until lightly browned. Add mushrooms, strew with some salt and continue to cook until mushrooms have softened and most of the liquid in the pan has evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic, and cook another 5 minutes or so until the onion starts to brown.
• Add tomatoes, wine and anchovy paste. Stir well and continue to cook until the liquid in the pan reduces and thickens somewhat, another 5 minutes or so. Season with pepper and more salt if needed. Fold in parsley and remaining oil, and remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook pasta about 4 minutes, until al dente. Remove from heat. Use tongs to transfer pasta to the skillet, with some of the pasta water still clinging to it. Reserve another cup of the pasta water.
• Reheat mixture in the skillet, folding mushroom mixture with pasta for several minutes. Add additional pasta water as needed so the mixture is moist but not soupy. Transfer to a large, warm bowl and serve, with grated cheese alongside.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan and gently cook the onion and garlic until soft.
• Add the mushrooms, season with black pepper, and cook until they start releasing liquid.
• Add the wine, dried and fresh herbs and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally until all the liquid is absorbed.
• Remove from the heat and chill for at least 30minutes until cold or overnight if preparing in advance.
• When completely chilled, add balsamic vinegar to taste and beat in the soft cream cheese until evenly mixed.
• Chill until needed.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread walnuts on a baking pan. Bake until fragrant, about 7 minutes. Transfer walnuts to a bowl; set aside to cool.
• In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter, and cook the chopped mushrooms and scallions, stirring occasionally, until liquid has been released and then skillet becomes almost dry, about 20 minutes. Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper; cook 2 more minutes. Add sherry, and cook until skillet is almost dry, 4 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Remove from heat, and let cool.
• In a large bowl, combine the mushroom mixture with the reserved toasted walnuts, parsley, Tabasco sauce, and cream cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Line a 12 1/4-by-4-by-3-inch terrine (or use any 6-cup mold) with plastic wrap, allowing for a 4-inch overhang on all sides. Spoon the mushroom mixture into the terrine. Firmly press down all over terrine with your hands, spreading mixture as evenly as possible. Cover the mold with the overhanging plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet, and cook the halved mushrooms just until tender, about 5 minutes. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper. Unwrap the chilled terrine, and invert it onto a large serving platter. Use a warm, wet towel on top of the mold, if necessary, to help loosen the terrine. Garnish the serving platter with the cooked mushroom halves, remaining walnuts, and thyme leaves. Serve with toast points or crackers.

Steps:
