Add salt and pepper to taste. - Chill before serving
Refrigerate for about 30 minutes so the flavors combine nicely.

💡 Grandma’s Tips
- Add a pinch of Paprika for color and warmth.
- Blend in a little Chicken Broth if the pâté feels too thick.
- It tastes even better the next day after chilling overnight.

Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
