Hey everyone! I recently came across something called Cock-a-Leekie Pâté and it sounds super interesting. I know the traditional Cock-a-Leekie soup is a Scottish classic, but how does it work as a pâté? Has anyone tried making it? I'd love to hear your tips, especially about getting the right texture and flavors!
Hey! I actually tried making a version based on a Cock-a-Leekie Pate Recipe a few weeks ago — it turned out amazing! Basically, you take all the cozy flavors of the traditional soup (chicken, leeks, a little prune for that touch of sweetness) and blend them into a rich, creamy spread. The key is to slowly cook the leeks until they’re buttery soft and to balance the seasoning so it’s not too salty. I also recommend using a mix of dark and light chicken meat for deeper flavor. Perfect served on crusty bread or oatcakes — definitely a crowd-pleaser at any gathering!
