Christmas Day SW Menu Challenge

toliveordiet is this one any good

Syn free

8oz chicken livers
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp mixed herbs
salt & black pepper
4oz cooked bacon, chopped
tub of very low fat fromage frais

Put onion, garlic, & herbs in pan and fry in Fry Light until the onion is soft, add liver and cook for about 7 mins. Put everything in a blender and blend until smooth. Add fromage frais a spoonful at a time until the consistency is the same as shop bought pate
 
Thanks Eve, I will give it a go. My post included links to previously posted recipes for the pates, etc, but yours sounds nice.

Many thanks:D
