So many times I used to wander around my local supermarket, hoping to find a commercially made pâté that tasted anything like the one I could make at home for my family. Not only lacking in flavour and taste the ones I found seemed to have undesirable extras, such as pork fat, stabilisers, emulsifiers and preservatives(all of which sounded very off-putting!
I wanted to enjoy a delicious proper pâté, made the way it should be, with only the best ingredients and I was sure that other people felt the same way.
My pâté is made using only the freshest and finest ingredients available; where possible I use locally sourced produce in order to keep the food miles low and give my support to essential local producers and growers.
Free range, locally reared chicken livers, English butter, onions and fresh cream. I freshly zest and squeeze oranges by hand for the Cointreau pâté and then add a good slug of Armagnac or Cointreau!
The method is simple and the end result is wonderful! My pâté doesn’t need anything else, except perhaps some fresh crusty bread and a glass of good red wine!
