  Stilton & Shallot Pâté from Felicity & Roald Dahl's Cookbook By Nancy Anne | Ramsons and Bramble 5 Comments This recipe was the first that really got my stomach rumbling when I read Memories with Food at Gipsy House, by Felicity and Roald Dahl (read my review of this truly glorious book here). This dish, to my mind, characterises the food in the whole book – delightful, elegant, British farmhouse fare.
  Stilton & Shallot Pâté	2014-01-06 20:30:07 Serves 6	Save Recipe	Print	Ingredients	225g soft cheese (I used cream cheese)	2 tablespoons/35ml white wine	2 tablespoons/35ml single cream	170g Stilton, rind removed & chopped	30g/1 small stick celery, chopped fine	1 teaspoon shallot, chopped fine	1 tablespoon parsley, chopped fine	freshly ground nutmeg, to taste (I used 15 scrapes)	salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste	Instructions	Beat the soft cheese with the cream and wine until smooth (I used the metal blade of a food processor).	Add the rest of the ingredients, blend again and season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper.	Fill small receptacles (teacups, egg cups, ramekins, etc.) tightly with the mixture, right to the top, and smooth with the flat side of a knife.	Chill for at least two hours until the mixture is firm (but not hard) and the flavours have fully developed - it is better if left overnight.

  Ramsons and Bramble says	February 8, 2014 at 5:48 pm	Mmmmm veggie sticks would be great – a lighter option too! I absolutely love nutmeg and cheese, especially in a lovely cheesy sauce…
