This recipe is a fave for entertaining! Heck, I served these little heart-shaped savory treats at my MAP Wellness Morsels book launch party 3 years ago, and it was these bites that had my mom finally admit that, yes, raw food is delish!
So why not whip up a batch or two of this pâté for the holidays - it freezes well, so you can make it in bulk and have an appetizer always at the ready!
