Method

Make the Pâté Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, chopped pistachios, onion, garlic, parsley, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Prepare the Crust

  1. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a food processor, combine flour and salt. Add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Assemble the Pâté

  1. 3

    Roll Out the Dough

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a loaf pan. Line the pan with half of the dough, leaving overhang.

  2. 4

    Fill and Cover

    Add the filling into the lined pan, then fold the overhanging dough over the top. Roll out the remaining dough to create a lid, sealing the edges.

  3. 5

    Bake

    Make a few slits on top for steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until golden brown. Let cool before removing from the pan.

Prepare the Pistachio Pesto

  1. 6

    Blend the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine pistachios, basil, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Serve

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Slice the pâté en croûte and serve with pistachio pesto, garnished with pea tendrils and orange zest.
