Homemade Pate
Pate The Ingredients And When to Buy
The chicken livers to make the pate you can buy frozen for 60p per 250g, its always available. I usually add pork to my pate recipe and I always for a reduced piece of pork. This recipe I stumbled across a couple of pieces of belly pork reduced, perfect as belly pork has enough fat content for it al to bind the recipe together when it sets. Just cut there rind of and use the rest.
I also grabbed a fennel bulb that was reduced to lees than half price so that would give it great flavour as well. The great thing about homemade pate is that you can add or take away any ingredients you wish.
