The smell of all this cooking would make anyone hungry, so mrs quite wisely is simultaneously cooking up some good ole' southern slow food-
In the crockpot there is-
A pork loin, underneath it all
Two sliced spuds
two roughly sliced carrots
Two onions, halved and placed in face down
Pour in half a glass of orange juice, crumble in one chicken Oxo (or some such stock)
Add some sliced parsley, and a pinch of oregano, and let it stew.
Marvellous things those Crockpots.And now it's time to take out the Baking tray-
We don't have Pate' yet, but it's getting there. Take off the bacon and pork fat, spoon out the hard boiled eggs, and plonk them all in a Blender-
No harm in a few chicken livers going in the blender. Spoon in the fatty juices from the baking tray also-
And give it a real good whizz up, until it's good n' smooth. Mrs reckons 2-3 minutes-
Now if you like a very smooth pate', you can also blend the livers. We prefer not to. Just add the blended mix to the liver in the baking tray, and mix it all up until it is a uniform colour-
And there you have it- Chicken liver pate'.![]()
