French Style Pate (Easy Microwave Fix) image

When we go to the U.S. ea yr & visit *SusieQusie* in Dallas, we always go to *Half Price Books* & I usually find a cookbook treasure on the clearance table. This yr it was a little jewel titled *Microwave Cooking* by Lorna Rhodes & it had some great recipes to help me (us) use our microwave to its full potential. I'm really into that now as it's fast, gives you an "extra oven" that doesn't heat up your kitchen & helps relieve the stress of entertaining. This is the 1st recipe from it I will enter & it combines the starter & salad courses or stands alone as a luncheon entrée if served as suggested. (This is fixed the day b4 intended use & time does not include chilling overnight) *Enjoy* !

Time 25m

Yield 6 Slices, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 slices streaky bacon
1 ounce butter
8 ounces chicken livers (chopped)
8 ounces ground pork
4 ounces ground sausage
1 garlic clove (crushed)
1 tablespoon sherry wine
1 teaspoon mixed herbs (chopped)
grated nutmeg (pinch of)
salt & pepper (to taste)
3 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Lay the bacon rashers flat on a cutting board & stretch w/the back of a knife. Use half of the bacon to line a 1 lb microwave safe loaf pan or terrine.
  • Combine the chicken livers, grd pork & sausage meat in a bowl. Cover & cook on HIGH for 6 minutes or till the meats are fully cooked, stirring twice during cooking.
  • Transfer mixture to a blender or food proc. Add the next 5 ingredients (garlic thru salt & pepper) & mix till smooth.
  • Spoon the mixture into your prepared pan or terrine & cover w/the remaining bacon. Place 3 bay leaves on top, cover w/greaseproof paper & cook on HIGH for 4 minutes. Allow pate to cool. Cover w/foil, weight down & chill overnight.
  • TO SERVE: Remove bay leaves, turn out onto a serving plate & slice. Serve w/French bread & a green salad.
  • NOTE: While the recipe doesn't say to do this & I haven't made this dish, I will drain the cooked meat mixture of the rendered fat as the bacon will add flavor & moistness in the final cooking stage.

This pâté is delicious and easy to make. I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. I love that you can use any type of ground meat, and I've even used a combination of different meats before. I also like to add different spices and herbs
