MUSHROOM Pâté
I love mushrooms, and I think they are a great ingredient not only to replace meat in some recipes but also as they have a great flavor and nutrients. Furthermore, you don’t have to use just one type of mushroom, later on, you will see that there are many amazing mushrooms that you use dried or fresh as well. One last consideration to this is ensuring there are edible mushrooms.
