Pate

750g chopped venison

200g pork chap (can be smoked)*

300g chicken livers

2 onions

4 bay leaves

Small tablespoon of peppercorn, juniper, and old spice each

Salt and pepper

Nutmeg

50g dried prunes (unpitted)

50 ml DICTADOR LIBERTO 1997 rum

Oil

500g plain flour

20g salt

5 egg yolks

125ml butter

Heat up oil in a pot, add onion chopped into thick cubes and sauté. Add garlic and continue to sauté until the onion and garlic are slightly brown. Add meat chopped into thick cubes. Add enough water to cover the meat, bay leaves, and spices. Bring to a boil and stew in a covered pot. After an hour, add pork chap, previously thinly sliced and fried in a pan. Add chicken livers half an hour before the end of stewing. The meat should be tender after about 2 hours. When the meat is ready, drain off, keeping the broth. Use it to soak the bread roll. If there’s not enough broth, add milk. Drain the bread roll and grind everything using a meat grinder. Add eggs to the meat and mix. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add rum. Knead flour, salt, egg yolks, and butter into dough. Roll out into a 3mm-thick sheet and place the dough in baking tin. Pour half of the meat into the tin, add prunes, then pour in the other half. Cover with dough. Bake in 180°C for 1 hour 30 minutes for each kilogramme, until the dough becomes golden. If it starts to turn brown too soon, cover with tin foil.
