INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook leeks, celery,
garlic, thyme, pepper and salt, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes
or until leeks are softened and lightly browned.  Meanwhile, in food
processor or by hand, coarsely chop mushrooms; set  aside. Stir sherry
and worcestershire sauce into pan, cook for 30  seconds, stirring to
deglaze pan.  Increase heat to high; add mushrooms and cook, stirring
occasionally,  for about 10 minutes or until liquid is evaporated. Stir
in tomato  paste; cook for 1 minute. Let mushroom mixture cool to room
temperature.  In food processor or blender, mix cream cheese with
mushroom mixture  just until almost smooth. Line 2-cup loaf pan or
mould with plastic  wrap; sprinkle chopped parsley evenly over bottom.
Spoon in mushroom  mixture, smoothing top. Cover with plastic wrap and
refrigerate for  at least 4 hours or until firm. [Pate can be
refrigerated for up to 3  days.]  Uncover pate and unmould onto serving
plate; remove plastic wrap and  smooth with palette knife.  Serve with
water crackers or toasted flatbread.  6 servings for $7.65CDN [Nov 95]
Tip: For a chunkier pate, pure all but 1 cup of the mushroom mixture,
then fold it back into the mixture before transferring to loaf pan.  To
prepare leeks, trim off limp outer leaves, leaving root end  intact.
Trim off flat dark green leaves where they start to pale.  Slit each
leek stalk from green leaf end almost to root end. Holding  leek root
end up and spreading leaves, flush out grit under cold  water. Per

A Message from our Provider:

“We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal. #J.I. Packer”
