large skillet, melt margarine. Add onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Saute
until tender but not browned. Add tarragon, stir until it is softened.
Pour mixture into a bowl of food processor. Add remaining ingredients.
Process until mixture is smooth. Add cheese if you prefer a more
spreadable consistency. Spoon into a serving bowl. Top with garnish of
your choice. Makes 1 1/2 cups. People who do not like ordinary pate seem
to love this one. Vary the herbs and substitute the vegetables as you
wish. Serve with water crackers, thick slices of crusty French bread,
thin slices of whole wheat bread, or unsalted whole wheat crackers. May
be frozen. VARIATIONS: - Substitute other vegetables for the mushrooms
(maybe broccoli.) - Substitute 1/2 t fennel for the tarragon and 1 c whole
pecans for the almonds ~ vary the flavor by using other seasonings such as
basil, oregano, dillweed, curry powder, or nutmeg.
