Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 2 yellow onions chopped
  • 1 pound mushrooms chopped and stems removed (white button or baby bella)
  • 1-2 tablespoons water
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325℉. Cover a sheet pan with parchment paper and spread out the walnuts and cashews in a single layer. Toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes. Nuts can burn quickly, so check frequently and stir halfway through. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat, then add the olive oil. Allow the oil to warm up, then add the onions to the pan and saute for 5-10 minutes, until softened and lightly browned.
  • Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt to the pan, and saute the mixture for another 6-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool for several minutes.
  • Add the mushroom and onion mixture and the toasted nuts to the bowl of a food processor. Blend the mixture until smooth, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time to achieve a smooth texture and scraping down the sides as needed. Add salt and pepper to taste and blend one more time to fully incorporate the seasonings.
