Pâté in French means “paste” which denotes a culinary preparation made of ground meat or fish with different seasonings.
Since its origin in France, pâté is primarily categorized into two types: pâté en croûte, which is baked inside a pastry dough, and crustless pâté en terrine (cooked inside a mold).
The creation of this palatable dish involves finely chopped meat or fish alongside a collection of fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables. Ground meats such as chicken, pork, beef, livers or game meats are the most used to craft pâté. Nuts, dried fruits, black truffle and foie gras can also make a beautiful and delicious addition to any pâté recipe.
The finished product is a velvety, smearable paste that, depending on the recipe, can be served hot or chilled, with fresh bread, pickles and a side salad.
Liver pâté is a popular food item in Scandinavia, where it is known as leverpostej (Denmark), leverpostei (Norway) and leverpastej (Sweden). It is made from a mixture of pork liver, lard, onion, flour, egg, salt, pepper and spices, poured into a loaf pan and then baked in the oven.
Pâté de Campagne:
The most classic French pâté which is mostly made of pork, livers, onions, garlic, and parsley.
A pastry shell typically enclosing ground pork, poultry, or game meats combined with various vegetables, nuts, and other ingredients like foie gras or black truffle. Instead of mixing the whole preparation together, some elements are placed on top of each other as layers to give a beautiful outcome when sliced.
Made from farmed animals or wild game (pheasant, roe deer, wild boar or quail) and offers a gamey taste with juicy filling.
This type of pâté is composed of bacon, pork liver and boneless pork leg, flavored with herbs and spices.
Kindly note that all of those categories and recipes can easily vary per the region and local ingredients.
