Keto Mushroom Walnut Pate. I have been fortunate to have many fabulous foods in my lifetime and of course I have not always made or tasted everything, are you kidding me? This keto mushroom walnut pate was one of them until recently when a friend put her recipe on instagram. Her’s was made with lentils but Taffiny suggested mushrooms as an alternative. I put a little of my own spin on it and it is indescribably delicious. So thank you Taffy, for not only this wonderful new taste treat but, a new recipe too. You’re gonna love not only how this tastes but also how easy it is to make. Served as a side dish with steak? Oh Yeah Baby. Now if Appetizers and pates are your thing I do a pretty mean Chicken Liver Pate too.
