Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the oven for 45 minutes. After this time, remove the foil lid and bake for another 5 minutes. Cool the finished pate and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. It is best served as thin plastics, accompanied by cereal bread, lemon wedges, olives, gherkins and green salad.
