Happy New Year! As resolutions kick in, many of us look to eat a little healthier after the holidays. For me that means smoothies, salads and a few satisfying snacks. Snacks can be wholesome too — this mushroom spread is a great example. It’s low in fat, versatile and makes a tasty midday snack. Use it as a spread on toast, stir it into pasta, or spoon it over rice (highly recommended). Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for a few days.
Not only is it delicious, it’s also quick and simple to prepare — I made this in about 10 minutes. This savory spread is a real winner.
This dish also carries a small lesson: don’t judge a dish by appearance. While it may not look fancy, the flavor is excellent. If serving to guests, garnish with spring onions, a sprinkle of ground chili, or another colorful topping to make it more visually appealing.
I’ll be using this spread in other recipes, so stay tuned for ideas and variations.
