Polish Sausage Pate en Croute

I think this is from Pat posted on Gail’s. The date I have on my copy is Fri. July 9,1999.

Anyway,thanks to whoever posted. It is simply a wonderful appetizer – easy, make ahead and very lovely to look at.

Below is what I have copied out,

Absolutely elegant and delicious. People will ask you how you did this. Thin Baguettes of French bread are hollowed, stuffed with a pate made from smoked sausage, chilled and then sliced to make perfect circles of bread stuffed with pate. This is from a very old

Bon Appetit magazine.

This calls for Smoked Kielbase Sausage - 28 ounces which is about 3/4 of a kilo.

1/4 c. butter at room temperature

4 chopped green onions

3 tablespoons ) sour cream

2 " " dijon mustard

1 " lemon juice

2 teaspoons horseradish

1 shallot minced

1/4 teaspoon pepper

3 dashes hot pepper sauce

3 tablespoons chopped parsley

1/2 teaspoon basil curmbled

2 French baguettes

Skin sausage and cut into 1 inch pieces. Finely chop sausage in processor using on/off turns. Transfer to a large bowl.

Cream butter in processor. Add green onions, sour cram, mustard, lemon juice, horseradish, shallot, pepper and hot pepper sauce and blend, using on/off turns. Return sausage and parsely, basil and blend using on’off turns.

Cut ends from breads. Remove centers, leaving ½ inch shell. I use the handle of a wooden spoon to do this. Do not tear crusts. Pack sausage mix tightly into hollow breads.

Wrap breads tightly in foil and refrigerate overnight.

Slice breads into ½ inch thick rounds. Serve at room temperature with a mustard sauce and radishes.
