Crayfish Pâté in Appetiser Recipes on eJozi's RecipeBook

Mention pâté, and what comes to mind first, expensive gourmet duck liver or chopped liver? Both are correct, of course, but pâté is not limited to poultry. Pâté is simply a mixture of seasoned ground seafood, meat or vegetables, and often a combination of several different base ingredients. Crayfish or lobster is a delicious candidate for pâté.

Prep Time: 10 min | Yields: ± 250 ml

Ingredients

250 g cooked crayfish meat
12.5 ml finely grated onion
50 ml thick cream
50 ml butter
5 ml lemon juice
1 ml curry powder
pinch chilli powder
sprinkling ground black pepper

Method

Chop cooked crayfish meat finely and blend well with all other ingredients. Chill before serving.

Tips

Use lobster if you cannot get crayfish.
Although yellow margarine may be used, pâté made with butter will be firmer and have a better flavour.
