French Pate de Chartres: A Mix of Foie Gras, Partridges, Chicken liver, Pork and Veal
Here is a very rare recipe: famous since the eighteenth century, the Chartres Pate is the specialty of this city in the center of France. Mainly prepared with game meat, this pate has a very special scent that not everyone is used to experience. Resulting of a strong tradition invented by a certain Monsieur Philippe (seventeenth century), the pâté was prepared with Guignard, a migratory bird which Beauce was the favorite meeting territory.

Still known for its taste, it is  composed with partridge or duck,  foie gras, truffles and subtle spice. Best cooks offer it in the menu especially during the game season.  To taste in a crust or in the form of a terrine.

Preparation: Chartes Pate:

Progression of the Pâté recipe:

– Sprinkle the inside with farce stuffing made ​​up of pork, veal and chicken livers, offal of game, an  pistachio previously set in marinade with cognac and porto wine and spices (at a rate of one third each). We must then keep half of the stuffing to a further pieces of foie gras and truffles.
– Make a good stiff dough with butter. Spread it on the table in a large well lowering ronde.  At the center drop a farce bed. Lay partridges on the farce by closing all the gaps.
– Lift the dough all around, taking care not to leave any empty space. Before welding the lid, put on quite a bit of butter and a piece of laurier. Pinch all arround.
