Pâté en Croûte
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1/2 lb chicken livers, finely chopped
- 1/2 lb bacon, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork, 1/2 lb finely chopped chicken livers, 1/2 lb finely chopped bacon, 1 small finely chopped onion, 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1/4 cup brandy, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp ground allspice. Mix well to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle large enough to encase the pâté.
- Place the meat mixture down the center of the pastry, leaving enough room on the sides to fold over and seal.
- Fold the pastry over the meat, pressing the edges to seal. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges with a fork to create a decorative border.
- Brush the beaten egg over the top of the pastry to create a golden glaze.
- Make a few small slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place the pâté en croûte on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Allow the pâté en croûte to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
