CREAMY VEGAN MUSHROOM PâTé

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat, and fry the mushrooms for 15-20 mins until very soft, and any liquid that's been released has evaporated. Stir in the garlic, 1 tbsp thyme leaves, 1 tsp sea salt and a good grinding of black pepper, and cook for 3 mins more. Leave to cool slightly.
• Transfer the mushroom mixture to a food processor and blitz to a thick paste. Add 100ml soya cream, then blitz again until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as you go. You may need to add up to 50ml more cream. Season to taste, then spoon into a serving dish or bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Drizzle over enough olive oil to coat the top of the pâté - it should be just enough to stop it drying out. Cover and chill for 2 hrs until firm. Will keep in the fridge for up to 24 hrs.
• To make the walnuts, put the sugar in a medium heavy-based frying pan with 1 tsp water, and stir to dissolve. Bring to a medium-high heat and bubble for 10 mins without stirring until the sugar has melted and turned into a golden caramel. Stir in the nuts, 2 tsp thyme leaves and a pinch of sea salt, then tip onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment and leave to cool. Once cool and set, bash or break into chunks.
• To serve, spread the pâté over the sourdough toast, then cut into bite-sized squares. Top with dollops of chutney and the candied walnuts.

MUSHROOM PATTIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Form the mixture into patties and place one at a time in a skillet with oil. Fry until both sides of the patties are browned.
• In a small bowl mix mushroom soup and milk together.
• Place fried patties in a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Pour the milk and mushroom soup mixture over the patties. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

CREAMY MUSHROOM PENNE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• At the same time, melt butter in a stockpot over medium-low heat. Add shallots; stir and cook for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle mushrooms with flour and stir to coat. Pour in chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Sprinkle some rosemary and thyme into your hand and crush herbs to release the oil. Add them to the pot on top of the mushrooms and stir. Add a grind of salt and pepper. Stir and taste.
• Pour heavy cream into the simmering pot and stir to combine. Let it cook and bubble up for a few moments, then mix in cream cheese and stir until cream cheese has melted. Taste. Remove pot from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese if the mixture needs a little more salt.
• Stir sauce again and add pasta. Stir. Turn out mixture into a large, wide-rimmed bowl. Sprinkle parsley on top. Serve hot.
