Syn Free Pate



I absolutely love pate, but never in a million years thought i could eat it on Slimming World. Thanks to Francesca Hayward for posting a recipe on a slimming group. I changed a few things and it came out delicious, considering there is no butter in the recipe it is rich, creamy and just like an ordinary pate.
It is completely syn free on extra easy too.....



Ingredients

500g mushrooms chopped
400g chicken livers chopped
1 garlic clove finely chopped
1 onion chopped
4 rashers bacon fat removed and chopped
1 tsp mixed herbs
2 tbsp of quark
salt and pepper

Method

In a large pan sprayed with frylight, fry the mushrooms till golden and set aside.
Re spray the pan and fry the onions till soft, add the garlic and mixed herbs and fry for 1 minute, then add the chicken livers and fry for 5 minutes, add the bacon and fry for 2 minutes. Let it cool down then blitz in a blender till smooth, mix in the quark and season to taste. Mix in the mushrooms and refrigerate.
