2326.0. ""PATE DE FOIES DE VOLAILLE"" by RUTILE::WATTINNE () Mon Mar 26 1990 11:02

    "Pate de foies de volaille"
    ===========================
    
    500 gr (1 pound) sausage meat
    500 gr           chicken livers
    1 egg
    1 small bag of "Gelee au Madere" (see note 2312 for translation)
                    Wine Madeira Jelly / Aspic ???
    1 glass of Madeira wine or Port wine
    Mixed spices
    Tarragon
    Salt, Pepper.              
    
    1 small salad bowl
    1 rectangular cake mould / matrix.
    
    This recipe has to be done 24 hours before serving.
    
    
    Prepare the chicken livers, and cut them in two parts if they are
    big. Put them in a small salad-bowl, add the tarragon and the glass
    of Madeira or Port wine.
    Put the bowl in the fridge for 3/4 hours.
    
    After mash them with a fork, add the sausage meat, mixed spices,
    salt and quite a lot of pepper, and 1 yolk. Mix well.
    
    Prepare the "Gelee au Madere" and let it cool but must not be set.
    
    Heat the oven, as it must be hot when you will insert the pate.
                                                                  
    Take the mould/matrix, pour alittle bit of gelee, then your "pate",
    then cover it of 1 cm of gelee. Put it in the oven for half an hour.
    When you have taken out the mould from the oven, and that is cold,
    let it in the fridge for 24 hours.
    
    Serve it with french bread ("Baguette") or toasts, and pickles...
    that is a good starter!

2326.1Saussage meatGVA02::SZUBATue Mar 27 1990 05:575
    What exactly is saussage meat made out of, if you can't buy it as
    such ?
    What can you use instead ?
    
    Thanx
2326.2Why can't you buy it?RUTILE::WATTINNETue Mar 27 1990 06:2814
    Hello,
    
    
    Well, if you can't find it, it is made of pork meat (different parts
    of pork)... a butcher can help you to choose.
    
    It seems that you are in Geneva, so you must find the sausage meat.
    In France, when we can't find it, we buy the "saucisse de Toulouse"
    that is exactly the same! 
    
    If you need more info, you can contact me in FYO (as we are neighbours)

2326.3Sausage can be made from many meatsREORG::AITELNever eat a barracuda over 3 lbs.Tue Mar 27 1990 11:1414
    Sausage seems to be made from whatever meat is handy.  I've seen
    turkey sausage of all sorts - garlic, kielbasi, breakfast links,
    and others - and the ones I tried were very good.  
    
    I think what makes it sausage is that it contains all sorts of
    spices and often, but not always, a good deal of fat.  Pork is
    traditional, probably because there's a lot of fat and because
    it goes well with the usual spices.
    
    Some cookbooks will have recipes for making your own sausage.  I
    think Joy of Cooking has one.  Maybe someone who's reading from
    home, with access to Joy, could type it in?

    and about the only difference between sausage and hotdogs is
    that theres NO (or very little) fat in hotdogs....cook a
    sausage and see how much it shrinks, i.e., how much fat is in
    it....better yet, just take a good LOOK at sausage...it looks
    like its 50% fat.....
    
    But they sure taste good on the summer grill

    Is Burgandy an acceptable substitute for Madeira.

    Burgundy is very, very different from madeira. Not likely to be a close
    substitute.

      No, Burgundy is not an acceptable substitute for Madeira. I would
    suggest sweet sherry or port or maybe even cognac.

2326.8where can I get it?MPGS::HEALEYKaren Healey, VIIS Group, SHR3Tue Apr 18 1995 12:247
    
    Does Madeira come in the "Cooking wine" department of the grocery store
    or will I need to head to the liquor store.  I don't seem to have any
    acceptable substitute at home.  I have Brandy, and cheap red and write
    wine that I use for cooking.

    Note that there is Madeira and there is "madeira" on the market, the
    latter being a domestically produced substitute for the real thing.

Although I usually get the real stuff (from Madiera), I've also used the
California "Madeira" and found it quite adequate for cooking purposes.

    	Ditto, I've used Californian madeira for low-key meals and was
    	surprised how well it came out, more than adequate in fact.

2326.13RT128::KENAHDo we have any peanut butter?Tue Apr 25 1995 14:033
    Is Madiera, like sherry and marsalla (and also like port), 
    a fortified wine?
