Smoked Chicken Pate
A delicious and easy starter if you make it in individual serving sizes. Maybe add some shaved truffle and your own crackers.Nutty Seeded come to mind
These pots of smoky chicken goodness make excellent hostess gifts when paired with some homemade crackers or of course they are excellent as a starter, great with homemade brioche, and do start the evening off right if you are entertaining a great crew! They keep for ages in the fridge if unopened...(butter is still in place) and they do look pretty schmicko on a grazing table. I am expecting to see these show up on social media soon people. Go and do!!
