Chicken Liver Pate Pinwheels with Medi Deli Tzatziki

This post forms part of the series of recipes I am preparing for Mediterranean Delicacies. It is a Food and the Fabulous Endorsed project and I will be remunerated for it.

I was given the challenge of preparing dishes with combinations chosen by Mediterranean Delicacies. For this recipe, their chicken liver pate peri-peri combined with their tzatziki. I must admit, I read the brief a few times to see if I’d made a mistake. I was stumped at first.

I knew I didn’t want to mix the two ingredients directly. Then the idea emerged: make the pate into a warm pastry wheel sprinkled with cayenne pepper and offset it with a cool, creamy dollop of tzatziki. The result: fun to serve and eat finger-food!

Recipe: Food and the Fabulous

I featured this blog on my site on 20 May 2012:

I am leaving Istanbul this morning, back to our base in Lisbon. It has been an incredibly rewarding, educational and delicious time spent on this side of Europe: Athens and Istanbul. I have met such warm people, tasted an incredible array of foods, some at the most authentic of locations run by the same families for generations. We have walked along ancient cobbled streets, gotten lost, satisfied our hunger with food from street carts, sat on benches absorbing the richness of architecture and contemplated the question we always ask when travelling “Could I live here?”

For the food alone, the answer is yes, probably. But, onwards we venture. I can’t wait to write about some of our experiences here in Istanbul as well as Athens and London before that.

Hope you’ve had a lovely week.
