Our hostesses this month, Evelyne of Cheap Ethnic Eatz, and Valerie of The Chocolate Bunny, chose delicious paté with freshly baked bread as their June Daring Cook's challenge! They've provided us with 4 different paté recipes to choose from and are allowing us to go wild with our homemade bread choice.
Since I've never made bread before, I decided to try the *French Baguette.
For the paté, I chose to make the * Tricolor vegetable recipe. It worked well for an appetizer at the last dinner party we hosted. After this experience I'm excited to try more- my imagination was running wild on all the different combinations and things I can try in the future. I'm so happy to have tried something I never thought of before~!
(* links to the recipes I used are at the end)
Thank you for a fabulous Challenge....
For some insight on what an adventure this was for me, see my previous post HERE ~And if you read my story, you'll know what 's wrong with this picture.lol
The beginning steps:I was excited about using fresh herbs I picked from our new garden! I always wanted an herb garden! The first layer of the paté is in the bowl ;)
This picture is the result of my first time making Bread.
As an afterthought, I shined it up a bit by rubbing a little bit of EVOO ...after I had already put the camera away ...of course....
This is the picture of the final presentation.
I plated it on some fresh~picked~from~my~garden lettuce and put a few sprigs of fresh thyme as a garnish. (Can you tell I'm excited about having a garden for the first time in my life!! lol)
The paté was well received - many surprisingly liked it! Even my picky eaters!! I already have many different ideas & can't wait to experiment with ingredients!!
... and I LOVE using my new food processor for the paté as well!!
(refer to story~link above.....lol)
