This rich pork pâté recipe has a wonderful meaty texture with a fairly coarse consistency, enhanced by the addition of nuts. It uses several different cuts of pork: pork belly, pork liver and bacon rashers. It’s a cinch to make and cooks in a Kilner jar, which looks good and is easy to serve. All this needs alongside, for a fantastic lunch or starter, are a few hunks of good bread or toast, a perky chutney, some cornichons and ripe tomatoes, and a bunch of watercress.
