1 shallot, peeled and diced
4 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, cloves peeled and thinly sliced
2 tsp chopped rosemary
2 tsp chopped thyme
2 tsp chopped sage
24 button mushrooms, roughly sliced
2 Tbsp Cognac
2 Tbsp soya sauce

Black pepper, to taste
Directions
- In a heavy pan, sauté the shallot in 2 tablespoonfuls of the olive oil until translucent.

- Remove the pan from heat and let cool.
- In a food processor, process the mushroom mixture, the remaining olive oil, the lentils, walnuts, beetroot purée, and black pepper until almost smooth. Add an optional extra splash of Cognac to give it that je ne sais quoi!
- Place in a small glass jar and refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
- Serve alongside toasted slices of sourdough or other type of bread.
