Ingredients

  • 2 cups brown mushrooms, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons butter or vegan substitute
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3/4 cup cashews {You will be blending these. If your blender isn’t super powerful, soak the cashews in water for a few hours to soften them up.}
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons olives {I used Castelvetrano, because of their lovely green colour. You can use any kind, or omit if olives aren’t your thing!}
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • In a large frying pan, sauté the mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of the {vegan} butter. Cook until all of the moisture is absorbed.
  • In a blender, combine the lemon juice, garlic, cashews, and mushrooms and blend until well mixed.
  • Remove from blender and stir in the remaining tablespoon of {vegan} butter and lemon zest. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate this for a couple of hours if possible.
  • Enjoy on crackers or a crusty baguette!
