AVOCADO PATE



Avocado Pate image

This is a mild flavored pate so don't expect a guacamole spread. The recipe is easy to double for buffets or a party. It is very important to get good tasting and textured avocados for this dish. They should be ripe but firm, I once made this and the avocado was over ripe, the taste was bland and it would not firm up properly. The amounts given are not extremely vital, there is room for a little more or a little less of most ingredients, but in this case I would go easy on the garlic. I serve this with toast, herb or homemade melba toast, and sometimes substitute the nuts with very finely chopped red bell pepper. For a dinner party I put the pate in individual little molds, this amount makes then about 4 servings. If you have some leftover, its nice on bread with some slices tomato.

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups mashed avocados, depending on the size you will need 2 to 3 avocados
4 -5 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion, i use only the tops
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
lime juice, i start with about 1 teaspoon
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 pinch chili powder
salt and pepper
some more chopped parsley, for serving
2 tablespoons chopped pistachio nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Blend or process avocado, cream cheese, onion, parsley, limejuice, garlic and chili powder until smooth.
  • Taste for salt and pepper and if more lime juice is needed.
  • Line a dish/mold with cling film/ plastic wrap, sprinkle the nuts in the bottom, spoon in the avocado mix.
  • Cover and put in the fridge for about 3 hours.
  • When ready to serve, unmold and sprinkle with some more parsley.

Tips:

  • Make sure the avocados are ripe, but not too soft. If they are too soft, they will be difficult to work with and the pâté will be too mushy.
  • Use a quality pilchard. Fresh pilchards are best, but canned pilchards can also be used.
  • If you are using canned pilchards, be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
  • Season the pâté to taste. You may want to add more or less lemon juice, salt, and pepper depending on your personal preferences.
  • Serve the pâté immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later. It will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Avocado and pilchard pâté is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover avocados and pilchards, and it is sure to be a hit with your guests.
