This easy Low Carb Meat-Free Mushroom Pate is a tasty vegetarian version of the French classic. It’s a great game-day snack or addition to a cheese or charcuterie platter.
We’ve served ours with our Foccacia Bread (topped with parmesan and thyme) and our Marinated Bocconcini.
I have not included the jellied top in the recipe, but it is very easy to make! Reserve 100ml/3.5 ounces of the liquid used to soak the mushrooms, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of gelatin and pour over the chilled pate. Leave to set for 1 hour.
This Keto Pate recipe makes 12 serves of approximately ¼ cup.

How to make Low Carb Meat-Free Mushroom Pate
- Place the dried mushrooms in a heatproof bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover them. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Place the butter, onion, garlic, thyme, and salt in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Slowly saute the onions until they are translucent but not browned.
- Add the mushrooms and stir to coat in the butter. Cook the mushrooms for 15 minutes until they have softened.
- Remove 2 tablespoons of the water from the dried mushrooms and add to the frying pan.
- Drain the rest of the water and add the mushrooms to the frying pan, stir well and drop the heat to low.
- Continue to cook the mushrooms for another 10 minutes before turning off the heat and leaving them aside to cool for 20 minutes.
- Add the mixture from your frying pan into your food processor, along with the sour cream, lemon juice, extra butter, and pepper.
- Blend into a smooth paste and add extra seasoning as desired.
- Spoon the pate into small jars or ramekins, cover and set in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
- Serve with Sesame Keto Crackers or toasted slices of Olive Focaccia.
