Country Pate

Postby NCPaul » Tue Feb 16, 2016 6:39 pm

This weekend I made some course country style pate (my first) following the recipe found here:
http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle ... ate-recipe
I didn’t have green peppercorns so I subbed in pistachios, I used 100 ppm cure # 1, and 1.3 % salt. I lined the terrine with very thin sliced pancetta.
Image
The hand cut meat was held overnight with the salt, cure and spices, then the rest was added and the terrine was filled (I was amazed it was the right amount).
Image
After cooking (for only two hours) and pressed overnight in the fridge it released from the terrine like this (more amazement).

Sliced

I vacuum packed and froze most of it. It is rich and has a fine flavor. This is probably another skill my waistline doesn’t need. :D

That looks outstanding Paul, Very tightly packed with great particle definition. What did ya press it with?
And yours looks a million times better then the photos in the article.

I would definitely agree, yours looks far superior to the article and much more appetizing (the article looked like a dried out meatloaf to be honest). I guess I'll have to add pate to the "to experiment with" list now ;-)

I pressed it with a 28 oz. can of 6-in-1 tomatoes (great for pizza, btw). I hope you guys try it; I think sausage makers have an edge in working with chopped up meat. :D
