PATE ON PITA TOASTS (Serves 8 - 10)

For this recipe buy the best pâté you can find or make your own. Here I used a delicious pâté from Rowans, my local delicatessen in Rathfarnham village. http://www.rowanscatering.ie

Pâté, medium tub

Pita bread

1 tbsp Olive oil

¼ tsp Salt

5 dates, chopped

¼ cup pecans, chopped

Chives, cut into 1 inch lengths

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cut each pita in half through the center and then cut in rectangles and place them in a single layer on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Bake for 10 minutes. 

When cooled spread on the pâté and garnish with the chopped dates, pecans and chives.
