Country Pate

• 1/4 lb salt pork, diced
• 1/2 lb chicken liver
• 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cubed
• 1 lb ground pork
• 2 tablespoons cognac or 2 tablespoons brandy
• 2 teaspoons herbes de provence
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leave, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 8 slices prosciutto

1. In food processor, pulse the salt pork, chicken livers and chicken meat until it forms a slightly grainy puree.
2. In a bowl, combine all of the meat, spirits, herbs and spices. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Spray a 9" X 5" loaf pan with cooking spray and line the pan with 6 of the prosciutto slices. Spoon the meat mixture into the pan. Cover with the remaining prosciutto slices and press lightly. Cover with aluminum foil. Refrigerate for one hour.
4. With a rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350u0b0F.
5. Set the loaf pan in a baking dish. Pour boiling water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the side of the loaf pan.
6. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 165 F, about 1 1/2 hours. Allow the pate to cool in the water. Remove from the water and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
7. Served chilled or at room temperature with slices of French bread.
