I got this recipe from a winery at a tasting. It is so delicious on French bread with some wine. For a chunkier consistency, you can fold in additional chopped walnuts at the end. I couldn't stop eating it at the tasting and neither could any of the other tasters!

  • walnuts: 1 cup
  • shallots: 0.5 cup (minced)
  • unsalted butter: 0.5 cup
  • shiitake mushrooms: 0.25 pound (chopped)
