Mushroom Pate

This is a *very* simple, mild mushroom pate. You can use whatever kind of mushrooms you prefer, or an assortment. Just so long as they are fresh, never canned. It is my attempt to replace chopped liver, a snack treat served in my family for all previous generations, but now out of favor due to health concerns.

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup olive oil

5. Chill and serve cold, with good bread alongside.
