Haha, yes cooking up a storm here. Such perfect time to get both my thermomix and this book, with DD's birthday last week, and the work xmas party this week.

Will post after the party with how all the nibbles went down!

Just about to whip this up :)

I have no eschallots, I have red onion, spring onion, salad onion & normal onion.

I was thinking red woukd be the way to go, what are your thoughts?

 :)

Post by: Bonsai on December 19, 2013, 11:22:27 pm
I think a red onion would be ok Hally but you might only need a part of one, some of mine are huge so might overwhelm with onion flavor.
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Halex on December 19, 2013, 11:31:36 pm
Thanks Bonsai, just starting now, using 1/2 :)
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix

All made, very interesting, never made pate before :) was surprised how runny it was.

HHW :)
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: judydawn on December 20, 2013, 12:13:54 am
Maybe it firms up once left in the fridge for a while Hally, have not made this one myself.
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Halex on December 20, 2013, 12:41:18 am
Will let you know :) I am hoping so.

WOW, what gorgeous pics of this....am about to get this recipe out for Christmas myself...it is so yummy!!

Post by: CreamPuff63 on December 20, 2013, 02:23:07 am
Tenina I'm having trouble finding smoked chicken - have tried C*les and WW. Would a butcher have it? Am I looking for something that has been vac packed or its sold by the kg?
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Halex on December 20, 2013, 03:32:39 am
Cream Puff, i bought mine in IGA at Canning bridge, it was vacum packed.

Good luck, hope you find it :)
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: CreamPuff63 on December 20, 2013, 04:21:12 am
thanks Hally, we have a couple of IGA's nearby I can try

CP my WW sometimes carries it but not often. Good luck finding some.

My Dad smokes chicken breasts for (fabulous flavour), but if I don't have any, I buy them from Aldi....I actually prefer the Aldi ones compared the supermarkets...and they're cheaper too.
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: judydawn on December 20, 2013, 06:16:05 am
Hally, has your pate set up firmer yet?
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: achookwoman on December 20, 2013, 06:53:31 am
Smoked chicken breasts available at Woolies near us.  Not Vac sealed, $22 a kilo.  In Deli section.

Post by: Halex on December 20, 2013, 06:54:50 am
Hally, has your pate set up firmer yet?

Its in the esky & the other one is in the freezer, will let you know :)
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Halex on December 20, 2013, 10:53:05 am
The pate set fine :)

It is really really good, we have eaten 1/2 a ramekin in one setting with other nibbles.

Absolutely love it :)

Cream Puff  hope  you found the chicken :)

HHW :)
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Halex on December 20, 2013, 09:47:33 pm
Please can someone explain why we pour melted butter on the top? We just scraped it off.

H :)
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: jo_nz on December 20, 2013, 09:55:46 pm
I think it's just to seal it and make it last until you are ready to serve/eat. 
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Halex on December 20, 2013, 09:57:00 pm
Thank you, i thought it might be that :)
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix

It presents better too Hally. So glad it set up for you.

CP woollies at Whitfords had smoked chicken breasts near there hams.
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: jeninwa on December 22, 2013, 05:46:41 am
Just whipped this up, very quick and easy, hope it doesn't take long to set, need it in 3hours time.
Love Tenina's recipes I have never had one fail.
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: judydawn on December 22, 2013, 06:40:35 am
You might be pushing it Jen, Hally's took a while to firm up.
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: cookie1 on December 22, 2013, 07:00:11 am
Into the freezer with it.  :D
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Halex on December 22, 2013, 07:54:11 am
All I can say is this is delicious :)

Sadly finished 1 ramekin, the other in the freezer at home.

Something to look forward too when we get home :)
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: jeninwa on December 22, 2013, 07:57:28 am
Into the freezer with it.  :D
I did that about half an hour ago :)
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Halex on December 27, 2013, 06:12:45 am
Well I orderd a 1.4kg turkey breast from aussie farmers. Just went to unwrap it for dinner tonight & its smoked turkey breast ??? :o.  BONUS, it cost me $30 for 1.4kgs, whereas i paid $15 for 500g of smoked chicken. So will be using a kg to make pate.

Lucky we have some left over turkey breast slices in the freezer, so am defrosting them right now :)

The turkey is good until mid jan, so no rush to make today.

HHW :)
Title: Re:
Post by: Itsnotartitsdinner on December 27, 2013, 09:33:29 pm
I did this the other day with smoked turkey as well. I have so much leftover. Any idea on what to do with the leftovers?
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Halex on December 27, 2013, 09:40:14 pm
You can use left over turkey in everything, pies, curries, ceasar salad, pasta, tacos,  fried rice,  freeze for another day. The list is endless.
 I will be using most of my turkey to make this pate as we just love it.

Enjoy your turkey, its my favourite meat :)

This wasn't a hit here unfortunately, only about 1% got eaten. Unfortunately it will go in the bin today. Lucky I had all the ingredients in the fridge /freezer so it didn't really cost me much n time or ingredients.
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Halex on December 27, 2013, 10:33:50 pm
Wonder, what didnt you like about it?
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: jeninwa on December 28, 2013, 02:09:50 am
Oh that's a shame wonder, the two I made disappeared before my eyes everyone loved it.
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Itsnotartitsdinner on December 28, 2013, 10:52:05 am
I have leftover pate too Wonder. Not leftover Turkey. I will think of something.
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Halex on December 28, 2013, 10:05:18 pm
Yes my ramekin vanished too :)

Everyone who has tried it here, loves it :)
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Halex on January 05, 2014, 09:55:59 pm
Making more of this today with the rest of my smoked turkey breast. We love it & it freezes well :)
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: jo_nz on January 05, 2014, 10:30:14 pm
It got demolished at my birthday party last week too - even my baby niece loved it  :D

Good to know it freezes well Hally - might have to do that next time.  I filled 2 ramekins but would have been quite happy to just have one for most occasions.
Title: Re: Smoked Chicken Pate - Merry Christmix
Post by: Frozzie on January 11, 2014, 12:19:17 am
About to finally make this.. For those near a Cosco they have it vac packed in the fridge section near cheeses etc... Bought it with this recipe in mind..

Post by: Kimmyh on July 05, 2014, 11:20:32 am
Made this yesterday and served it today. Absolutely loved it. I put it into three medium ramekins. I have frozen one. Definitely worth making. Great flavour.
