    • mushroom & chestnut pate on toast

    🥘 Main ingredients

    • baguette
    • mushrooms
    • mixed dried mushrooms
    • chestnuts
    • red onion
    • garlic
    • tarragon
    • rosemary
    • sherry vinegar

    I love it when mushroom season starts. Autumn for me is the time during which I feel a bit sad because of the ending of the summer, but at the same time get super excited about all the new produce. I live in the South of France, and there are still many people in France who go out and about into the forests to go wild mushroom picking. I think it's great, and one day I hope to learn about it myself.

    For now I just buy the fresh mushrooms on the market, Together with the pre-boiled chestnuts. These two flavours match so beautifully together. A match made in heaven 😉 Together with all the autumn herbs like thyme and rosemary. A great start for making a beautiful, rich, mushroom and chestnut pate.

    Do you need some extra additions to your aperitif platter, try some dips, like zaalouk, or hummus. Or add some delicious mini vegan 'meat'-balls.

    🍷 Wine pairing

    It is not difficult to pair mushrooms and chestnuts pate with a wine. For me that would no doubt be a Red Burgundy. A light pinot noir. But most likely you will be serving these little canapés, with other snacks and bites as an aperitif. And there, ... I would choose a whole different approach. As an aperitif you want to get the palate ready for food. So beautiful dry bubbles would be my best answer for an aperitif with various snacks. Champagne or a good Cava, Keep it dry.

    Go ahead, and get ready to party! I would love to see your canapés creations, please add @haricoco1 to your instagram posts, so we can share our party thoughts 😉

    Notes

    These little toasts are a nice addition to your aperitif platter. Really nice to serve with a thin slice of apple on top. I personally like to add a lot of tarragon, which goes beautiful with the mushroom flavour. But you can adjust to your liking.
