Ingredients

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 50g butter
  • 140g small button mushrooms, thickly sliced
  • 200g vac-pack whole cooked chestnuts, halved
  • 170g pack Ardennes pâté, cubed
  • 25g pack parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp thyme leaves
  • 6 rashers smoked streaky bacon, each rasher cut into 6-8 pieces
  • 140g oatmeal breadcrumbs (we used an Allinson sliced oatmeal loaf) or white breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs

Method

  1. Fry the onion in the butter for 5 mins. Add the mushrooms, then fry for 5 mins more.
