Tri-Color "Veggie" Pat\u00e9 with Herbed Mayonaise<\/p><\/div>\n

Tri-Color \u201cVeggie\u201d Pat\u00e9 with Herbed Mayonnaise<\/strong>
\nThe Beat Divas — Mady Kaye<\/p>\n

9 beets, about 1\u00bc pounds
\n1 pound carrots, trimmed, scraped & cut into rounds = about 2\u00bd cups
\nTwo 10 oz. pckgs. frozen chopped spinach, thawed completely
\n1\u00bd pounds lean veal*
\n1 egg
\n1\u00bd cups heavy cream
\nSalt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
\n1\/8 tsp. nutmeg
\nVegetable oil for greasing the pan or Pam<\/p>\n

1. Cut off and discard stems from beets. Put beets in saucepan. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Simmer about 35 minutes or until tender. Drain, rinse under cold water, take off skins.
\n2. Meanwhile, drop carrots into a saucepan of boiling water. Cook about 5 minutes. Drain. Put carrots into food processor and blend thoroughly. Spoon and scrape mixture into a bowl and set aside.
\n3. Squeeze spinach to extract the water. Put into bowl of food processor and blend thoroughly. Spoon and scrape into another bowl. Set aside. You should have 1\u00bd cups.
\n4. Slice beets and put into food processor. Blend thoroughly. Spoon and scrape mixture into a third bowl. Set aside.
\n5. Put veal into food processor and blend well. Add egg and blend. Gradually add cream while blending. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
\n6. Divide veal mixture into three parts and add 1\/3 to carrots, 1\/3 to beets, 1\/3 to spinach.
\nMix each very thoroughly.
\nPreheat oven to 400\u00b0.<\/p>\n

Using oil, lightly grease inside of a 9x5x2\u00be loaf pan. The goal in filling the pan is to achieve a checkered pattern with each puree.
\n1. Fill the bottom of the pan with two evenly packed lengthwise layers, using \u00bd of the spinach mixture and \u00bd of the carrot mixture. Spoon the spinach mixture carefully to cover half of the bottom of the pan lengthwise, smoothing over the top. Spoon the carrot mixture next to it, smoothing over the top.
\n2. Top the spinach mixture with \u00bd of the beet mixture, smoothing over the top. Top carrot mixture with remaining spinach mixture, smoothing over the top.
\n3. Top beet mixture with remaining carrot mixture, smoothing over the top. Top middle spinach mixture with remaining beet mixture, smoothing over the top.
\nCover loaf pan loosely with foil. Place loaf pan in a larger baking pan and fill about half way up the side of the loaf pan with boiling water.
\nPlace pans in oven and bake 75 minutes. Remove loaf pan from water bath.. Let cool. Chill thoroughly \u2013 preferably overnight \u2013 before unmolding and slicing. Garnish with herbs. Serve with herbed mayonnaise. Bring almost to room temperature before serving.<\/p>\n

*Ground chicken breast may be substituted for the veal, with the addition of another egg.<\/p>\n

Herbed Mayonnaise:<\/p>\n

1\u00bd cups Hellman\u2019s Light Mayonnaise
\n1 tsp. Dijon mustard
\n1 TBSP. white wine vinegar
\n1 TBSP. finely chopped parsley
\n1 TBSP. finely chopped fresh tarragon
\n2 TBSP. finely chopped cornichons (small sour gherkins)
\n2 TBSP. finely chopped capers, drained
\n1 TBSP. finely chopped shallots
\n1\/3 cup olive oil
\nSalt & freshly ground pepper, to taste<\/p>\n

Whisk all ingredients together. Chill overnight for full flavor. Bring to room temperature
\nbefore serving. Yield: about 2 cups<\/p>\n

Cook\u2019s Notes:
\nThis is an eye-popping pat\u00e9. It can be served in thin slices as an appetizer or
\nthicker slices for entr\u00e9e. For the entr\u00e9e, I serve it with green salad and steamed
\nasparagus, all on the same plate. The colors are fabulous, and the herbed mayonnaise is great on the asparagus too. I like to make a lot of the mayo, as it\u2019s a popular item.
\nDill can be used instead of tarragon. If you can find fresh (winter) savory, that\u2019s
\nanother herb that is great in the sauce if you don\u2019t favor tarragon.<\/p>\n

During cooking, the pat\u00e9 shrinks slightly, so make sure that the veggie pur\u00e9e comes right into the edges of the loaf pan and all corners are filled in. Otherwise there are gaps where the pur\u00e9es meet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
