DUO OF HORS D’OEUVRES

Liver and jam profiteroles
Preparation: 15 minutes
Servings: around 12 to 16 canapés

Ingredients:
12 store-bought mini profiteroles
2 78 g cans of Paris Pâté Liver pâté
60 ml (1/4 cup) store-bought apricot or fig jam
a few sprigs of chives, chopped up
salt

Preparation:
1. Refrigerate the Paris Pâté cans for a few hours before opening them to get an optimal texture.
2. Put the Paris Pâté into a pastry bag with a plain pastry tip*.
3. Open the profiteroles and insert a small spoonful of your choice of apricot or fig jam in its cavity.
4. Fill the profiteroles with a rosette of pâté, pressing gently into the pocket with a circular movement.
5. Sprinkle the chopped up chives on top of each. Serve.

Variation: Replace the profiteroles by mini vols-au-vent!

* Tips: Don’t have a pastry bag? You can simply use a medium sized Ziploc bag. Fill a corner of the bag with Paris Pâté and push it down gently to squeeze out any air bubbles. Cut the very tip of the corner of the bag with scissors to make an improvised pastry bag.
