Wild Mushroom Cheese Spread

A flavour bomb dip that’s going to be the new favourite to take to parties and potlucks.

Make ahead tip: The flavour develops more fully if the spread sits for a day in the fridge before eating.

1 package (20 g = 1 cup) Untamed Feast Wild Mushrooms

½ cup hot water

2 Tablespoons butter or olive oil

½ cup diced onion

2 cloves minced garlic

1 package (250 grams – 8 ounces) cream cheese, goat cheese, or spreadable vegan substitute

¼ teaspoon salt – or to taste

Pinch pepper – or to taste

Rehydrate the mushrooms by putting them in a small bowl and covering them with the hot water. When they are soft (about 30 minutes), squeeze them gently to remove the water then finely chop them. Reserve the water.
Heat the butter (or olive oil) in a skillet over medium heat, add the onion and cook until golden then add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped, rehydrated mushrooms and cook until dry.
Stir in the reserved mushroom liquid, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook down until dry again. Tip: This is the key step. The slower you let this happen, the more mushroom flavour you will get.
Remove from stove. Add the warm mushrooms to the cream cheese or spreadable substitute of choice. Blend well and refrigerate until firm.
Enjoy on bread, crackers, with chips, on a burger, with potatoes, on a pork chop or steak or just eat it with a spoon.
