This is a really easy to make, chunky, coarse vegetarian pate and is delicious. I like to eat it on toast or in sandwhiches and it keeps well so I make big batches at a time that I can use all week for lunches. I have also served it to guests on crusty bread several times and it has always been complimented. -The most important thing when making this is to chop the mushrooms as finely as possible. -For variations in flavour, try experimenting with different types of mushrooms. -I personally like the chunky, coarse texture of this pate, but if you prefer a more traditional, smooth, spread-like pate just blend it at the very end.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan and gently cook the onion and garlic until soft.
- Add the mushrooms, season with black pepper, and cook until they start releasing liquid.
- Add the wine, dried and fresh herbs and bring to the boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and chill for at least 30minutes until cold or overnight if preparing in advance.
- When completely chilled, add balsamic vinegar to taste and beat in the soft cream cheese until evenly mixed.
- Chill until needed.
