"This is a great recipe and very elegant for parties. Putting it in the food processor really makes it smooth, and the brandy gives it a refined taste. I've made similar recipes with herbs and I would add some next time - maybe thyme, but otherwise this recipe is perfect."

Very simple & inexpensive to make. Put into ramekins and decorated with a bay leaf & juniper berries. It was very beautiful & posh, and tasted like an excellent pate. Allow plenty of chill time.
