We then delicately fold together the cooked trout, chopped smoked salmon, and our lovely mayonnaise. The rillete is served in a small glass ramekin with a garnish of onion, chive, and smoked trout roe with flax seed cracker on the side.

Chicken Liver Pate $11 -
Our chicken liver pate is in fact a mousse! Although it still belongs to the wider category of Pates, it is a mousse because of its incredibly smooth texture which is achieved by making an emulsified puree. We begin the process of making our pate by roasting chicken livers in a very hot pan until rare. Afterwards we sauté celery and garlic together with caramelized onions before deglazing the pan with brandy. Once the brandy has reduced with add cream and dijon. We then puree the seared livers with the cream and brandy mixture and emulsify with cold butter. Our mousse is then piped into ramekins and topped with a red versus gelee, which provides a touch of sweet acidity that balances the richness of the pate nicely. Our pate is served with grilled bread.
Dietary Notes: Gluten Free (if served without bread)
Allergens: Dairy, Alcohol, Allium
