Pâté• A pâté is a forcemeat baked in a pastry crust and usually served
cold—this technical, culinary definition is the one generally accepted among chefs and food-service professionals worldwide.
• However, to the average North American consumer, the definition is much broader, encompassing pâtés with and without crusts as well as spread-like mixtures and cold seafood mousselines.
• Today, the term pâté can even include loaf like cold vegetable preparations.

Types of Pâtés• Today there are five basic types of pâtés:
1. Pâté en croûte : a forcemeat baked in a crust of pastry dough.
2. Terrine : a forcemeat baked in a form or vessel without a pastry crust.
3. Galantine and ballotine : forcemeats wrapped in poultry skin or meat.
4. Pâté roulade (or pâté en roulade): assembled and cooked in the same way as a galantine, but not wrapped in a poultry skin.
5. Mousseline pâté : The smoothest and most refined form of pâté made from an emulsion of puréed raw meat, eggs, and cream.

The Four Elements of Pâté Construction• Most pâtés have four basic elements:
1. Forcemeat: All pâtés begin with a forcemeat. This emulsified mixture of ground meat and fat makes up the body of the pâté.
2. Internal garnishes: Pieces of food placed within the forcemeat to add texture, flavor, and visual interest.

The Four Elements of Pâté Construction• Most pâtés have four basic elements:
3. Liners and wrappers: A pâté forcemeat is usually contained in some form of wrapper or liner. • Only mousselines are not wrapped or lined; they may be encased
in a colorful vegetable wrapper for an attractive presentation.
4. Sealers: Historically, after a pâté product was baked and cooled, it was sealed with a semisolid fat to preserve it. Modern pâtés and terrines are now more often sealed with aspic for presentation purposes. • Lard, rendered poultry fat, butter, and aspic are used as pâté
sealers.

Ingredients• Primary meats: Meats that must total more than half the
pâté forcemeat’s weight. • Secondary meats: Meats added to a pâté forcemeat.
They are used for a number of reasons:1. To add a rich mouthfeel to a forcemeat made from a lean
primary meat. Both pork and liver are used for this purpose.
2. To lighten the color of the finished product.

Secondary Binders and Extenders for Pâté Forcemeats• Many forcemeats acquire a better texture with a secondary binding
element in addition to the primary bind created by the emulsion of fat and meat.
• These secondary binders consist of protein ingredients and starch ingredients.
• The starch binders also function as extenders, adding low-cost bulk to the force meat mix.
Secondary binders used in pâté forcemeats include:• Raw egg• Flour• Panade (or Panada)

Wrappings and Linings for Pâtés• Pâte à pâté : Pastry dough wrappers for pâtés en
croûte– The French translation for this terms is “pastry for pâté.” – These doughs must be sturdy enough to hold up to heavy
forcemeats and the steam, juices, and rendered fat they produce.
– Dough choices include:• Pâte brisée , made with lard or vegetable shortening.
• A milk-enriched biscuit-type dough.
• A lightly yeasted, lard-enriched bread dough.

Wrappings and Linings for Pâtés• Liners for terrines
– Fresh pork fatback• Fatback used for lining terrines must be fabricated into long, wide,
even slices, 1⁄8-in. (0.3-cm) thick, to line the terrine mold thoroughly and efficiently.
– Caul fat (also called lace fat) • A thin yet remarkably strong membrane that encases the stomach
and intestines of hogs and other animals.

Wrappings and Linings for Pâtés• Liners for terrines
– Bacon or pancetta is the usual liner choice of amateur cooks as both are widely available in pre-sliced form.
– However, the assertive taste of these products can overwhelm the flavor of a delicate forcemeat.
– They are best teamed with bold, rustic forcemeats, particularly those that include liver.

Sealer Ingredients for Pâtés• Aspic Sealer for Pâtés en Croûte
– For pâtés en croûte, modern charcutiers use flavorful, crystal-clear aspic to fill the gap and adhere the crust to the forcemeat.
– Lard is the traditional material used to seal terrines for extended storage.

Equipment for Grinding and Puréeing• Pâté forcemeats are prepared in the
same manner as sausage forcemeats. Therefore, the same equipment is used for grinding and puréeing both.
Pâté and Terrine Forms• Today’s charcutiers can choose from a
variety of vessels in which to bake both pâtés en croûte and terrines.

• Because both sausages and pâtés begin with forcemeats, the initial preparation of pâtés is the same as sausages.
• Information on the preparation of forcemeats can be found in Chapter 12, pages 482-490.

Galantine or Ballotine?• Galantine
– Most food historians believe the culinary term galantine is derived from the archaic French word galine, meaning “chicken,” and is related to the modern Spanish word for chicken, gallina.
– If this is the true linguistic root of the term, it is safe to assume that a galantine should be made from a chicken, or from a kind of fowl.
• Ballotine– The term ballotine is also frequently used to describe a poultry
forcemeat cooked in a poultry skin.
– However, this term is derived from the French ballot, or “bundle,” and so is more generic than galantine. Thus, it can refer to any kind of wrapped forcemeat.

Galantine or Ballotine?• Both galantines and ballotines
consist of forcemeats wrapped in skin or meat prior to cooking.
• Pâté roulades are modern interpretations of galantines and ballotines.
• The poultry skin is replaced by a decorative liner, and the lined forcemeat is wrapped in heavy-duty plastic film before it is poached.

Storage• Most pâté products, once sealed as in the preceding procedures,
have a relatively long refrigerated shelf life. • A terrine untouched in its dish keeps in the refrigerator for a month,
while an uncut, aspic-sealed pâté en croûte lasts at least two weeks.
• Once a pâté product is cut open, it must be served within a few days.
• Although you can freeze uncooked pâté forcemeat and even freeze an uncooked, assembled terrine, you cannot successfully freeze a cooked pâté.
