This is a delicious recipe that comes straight from my mamas kitchen! It's dairy free and, dependent on what you serve it with, gluten free too - so good for all you ladies on an endo friendly diet. 

The layer of butter isn't necessary - you can make it without this, but, it's nice to have a little butter on top for when you spread it. You can use a dairy free butter substitute if you so wish. 

It's lovely as a light lunch or for a little snack. We like to serve it with poppy and sesame crackers but it's down to your own preferences really. It goes nicely with thick crusty toasted bread too. 

The recipe makes four ramekins of pâté which you can freeze - just leave them to defrost overnight in the fridge when you need them.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
