- Take the lid off the pan and let the liquid reduce itself for about fiftenn minutes.
- Sieve the mixture, trying not to loose the liquid - it makes great soup.
- Put all the boiled ingredients into a large bowl (or back into the pan) and add lard, tomato concentrate and chickpea. Mix thoroughy with a spoon.
- Set up the food processor and blend everything together until a fine paste is made. It should have the consistency of dumpling dough, if it's toothick add some broth or brine.
- Put the paste into a cake tin and bake for about 1.5 hour in 250 degrees centigrade. Poke the pate once in a while to check if it's ready.
- When properly baked, take the pate out of the tin and let it cool down. Serve in slices on a buttered toast.
