• Fresh herbs of your choice

Preparation:

1. Sauté the chopped onion, garlic and mushrooms in a hot pan with
   some butter and oil until coloured
2. Season the mix well, then add the chopped fresh herbs and pop
   into a food processor with the cooked bacon
3. Proceed to blend to achieve a relatively smooth mix
4. Allow to cool, then add in the cream cheese and mix well

Phelim’s Top Tip:

You can easily make this as a vegetarian dish instead – just use 4 tablespoons of toasted nuts instead of the bacon.
