  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1
    egg
  • 3/4
    cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2
    cup chopped shallots or onion
  • 1/2
    cup shelled, chopped pistachio nuts
  • 1/3
    cup port wine or cranberry juice
  • 1/4
    cup half-and-half or light cream
  • 1/4
    cup fine dry bread crumbs
  • 2
    teaspoons dried sage leaves, crushed, or 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1
    teaspoon salt
  • 1
    teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 2
    cloves garlic, minced
  • 1
    pound lean ground beef
  • 1

  • Stone ground mustard
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Lightly spray a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

2. Beat egg in a large mixing bowl. Add cranberries, shallot or onion, pistachio nuts, port wine or cranberry juice, cream, bread crumbs, sage, salt, pepper, and garlic; mix well. Add ground beef and pork. Mix well. Press mixture into prepared pan. Cover tightly with foil. Bakes 1-1/2 hours.

3. Remove pan from oven. Cool slightly. Uncover; carefully pour off drippings, leaving pate in pan. Cover pate loosely with foil. Place several heavy cans of food in another 9x5x3-inch loaf pan to serve as weights. Place pan on top of the covered pate. Chill overnight.

4. Remove weighted pan and foil. Loosen sides if necessary. Invert pate onto a serving platter or wrap in plastic wrap and chill for up to 2 days. Cut pate in half lengthwise and then into thin slices. Serve pate with stone ground mustard.

I tried this years ago, not liking pate's made with liver, and have been giving this in my holiday baskets ever since. I love the flavor and the red of the cranberries and green of the pistachios look very festive.
