- 6 oz. shiitake mushrooms, 2 caps reserved
- 1 tsp fresh tarragon
- 3 tbsp + ½ tsp coconut oil, divided
- 1 tbsp gelatin
- 10 tbsp vegetable broth
- 2 garlic cloves

- 1 leek, about 4 ounces
- 8 oz. crimini mushrooms
- 1/3 cup red wine
- 2 tsp grainy mustard
- ¼ cup sour cream

- Brush any dirt from the shiitake mushrooms, remove the woody stalks and then finely chop them half at a time in Braun’s MultiQuick 7 Hand blender with 2-cup chopper attachment. Wipe out the bowl and add the tarragon, finely chop.
- Add 1 tbsp coconut oil to the pan; warm it up on a medium heat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and tarragon to the pan and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes or until softened. Take off the heat and reserve while you cook the base of the pâté.

- Brush the crimini mushrooms clean, remove the woody parts of the stalks, and rough chop them in the 2-cup chopper attachment in 2 batches.
- Heat remaining 2 tbsp coconut oil on medium heat in frying pan. Add chopped garlic, shallots and crimini mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Add the red wine to the pan and let simmer until wine has reduced by ¾. Once reduced, add the vegetable broth with gelatin to the pan. Let simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the grainy mustard and sour cream; keep stirring for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly, before transferring the mixture to a bowl.
