How to Make French Style Pate Easy Microwave Fix

  1. Lay 4-6 slices of bacon flat on a cutting board and gently stretch them with the back of a knife to help them lay flat.
  2. Use half of the bacon slices to line a 1-pound microwave-safe loaf pan or terrine.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup cooked chicken livers, 1/2 cup ground pork, and 1/4 cup cooked sausage meat.
  4. Cover the bowl and microwave on high for 6 minutes, or until the meats are fully cooked, stirring twice during cooking.
  5. Transfer the cooked meat mixture to a blender or food processor.
  6. Add 1/4 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons brandy (optional), 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Blend until completely smooth.
  7. Spoon the mixture into your prepared loaf pan, covering the top with the remaining bacon slices.
  8. Place 3 bay leaves on top, cover the pan with greaseproof paper, and microwave on high for 4 minutes.
  9. Allow the pâté to cool completely.
  10. Cover with foil, weight down (using a can or small bowl with water, for example), and chill overnight in the refrigerator.
  11. To serve: Remove the bay leaves, carefully turn the pâté out onto a serving plate, and slice.
  12. Serve with French bread and a green salad.
