Full disclosure. I have had this recipe for a long from Bon Appetite I think. And I have changed it up to make it a little bit more healthful (barely) and of course using one of our spices, Big Tom’s Roasting Rub and Brine Spices. It works magic in this recipe.

The paper towel on top and bottom of the pate may seem weird but it really helps absorb the moisture so the pate has that dense rich flavor and texture when you spread it.
