[Vegan Pork and Vegan Veal Pate with Vegan Ham]
...Julia says "
A pork and veal pate with decorative strips of veal and ham buried in its slices is the most classic of all pate mixtures"...
...and there are two variations for this...
Pâté de Veau et Porc avec Gibier - if you wanted to make this version...you could use the Mock Duck like I did in the
Vegan Caneton aux Cerises...or you could make the yuba version like I did in the
Vegan Caneton à l'Orange
Pâté de Veau et Porc avec Foie - and if you wanted to make this version...you could use the
VEGAN FOIE DE VEAU recipe...
...and the procedure would be exactly the same...
...you start by slicing your vegan veal into 1/4 inch slices...and marinating it in some cognac, thyme, allspice and shallots...I used baked tofu for the vegan veal...and red onion for the shallots...
...then you'll need the
VEGAN FARCE POUR PÂTÉS, TERRINES, ET GALANTINES...and I used TVP and mushrooms this time and omitted the vegan sausage as I didn't think that would go with this flavor profile...
...cut your vegan veal and vegan ham into strips...
...add your marinating liquid to the seitan/stuffing mixture...
...then start assembling by pressing 1/3 of the seitan/stuffing mixture on top of the vegan bacon...and then adding the strips of vegan ham and vegan veal...
...continue layering and end with the stuffing...
...top with more vegan bacon...
...set a weight on top...I'm using another ramekin filled with water...and set it in a pan of water...and bake for about 1/2 hour...if you make a larger one you'll have to bake it longer...of course...so that the seitan/stuffing gets done in the center...
...what it looked like out of the oven...almost all of the water in the pan had evaporated...
...but it was nicely pressed and firm...
...after chilling it in the fridge we served it with some slabs of homemade bread...
...it's quite firm...not very paté like...
...and it was delicious...and I say that with a surprised voice as I did not really expect to like this very much...
Substitutions:
Baked Tofu for the veal
Vegan bacon - smart life
Tofurkey vegan ham

That seems like a strange recipe to me! Glad it was good. Love, K
