Royal Lime Mushroom Pate ( Rich, Moist and Tasteful Pate)

• 3 fresh limes
• 2 lbs mushrooms (Your choice of type, I prefer white closed caps.)
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 (250 ml) carton single cream
• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (Extra Virgin)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 egg whites

1. Finely chop the mushrooms.
2. The finer the better!
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (or pot if preferred) and add the mushrooms and oregano.
4. Cook them on medium heat until nicely softened.
5. (approx 8 mins).
6. Juice the limes and add the lime juice along with the garlic and cream to the pan.
7. Add the salt and bring to the boil.
8. Finally add the egg whites and stir in well!
9. Then immediately reduce the heat and simmer on low heat for around 1 hour.
10. (variable, allow time for the mushrooms to really soften up and the flavours to mingle and absorb).
11. Stir occasionally.
12. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
13. When cool enough place into a container and put in the fridge to chill and set.
14. Serve cold, excellent as a starter or with fresh cooked bread!
