Ingredients

  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 50 g shelled walnuts
  • 40 g extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-step

Choose your robot:
  1. Put the onion and garlic in the mixing bowl and chop 4 sec/speed 5.
  2. Add the oil and saute 5 min/120°C/speed 1.
  3. Add the chopped mushrooms and the thyme and saute 10 min/120°C/speed 1 without the measuring cup so the water evaporates.

  5. Add the walnuts and blend 20 sec/speed 6.
  6. Scrape down the sides with the spatula and blend another 15 sec/speed 7.

Tips

  • Cook the mushrooms without the measuring cup to concentrate their flavor.
  • A splash of brandy in the saute gives a special touch.
  • Serve on toast with a little chopped chives.
