Pâté en croûte is the pinnacle of charcuterie. Endlessly variable and brutally difficult to prepare well, it’s a test of a cook’s ingenuity, skill, and creativity. Few preparations involve as many intertwined elements and processes, every one of which can go drastically wrong, and every wrong move often means ruining the entire preparation. The pâté en croûte maker is part butcher, part pastry chef, part technician, and part engineer. We brought in master butcher Kevin Smith of of Seattle’s <a href="https://beastandcleaver.com/">Beast &amp; Cleaver</a> to demo his award-winning pâté en croûte, so you can make one like a pro.
