pâté créole — France

Creole pâté is a culinary preparation typical of the island of Réunion, savory or sweet, essential to end-of-year celebrations. It is a type of pie, whose dough is made of lard, butter (Sovaco brand for some enthusiasts), eggs, flour, sugar, turmeric, salt and pepper. When savory, creole pâté is filled with a godiveau based on chicken and pork. It is eaten as an appetizer. On the other hand, when it is sweet, it is garnished with a jam generally of papaya or guava, or candied papaya. It is then served as a dessert. This sweet version is the most common nowadays. It is traditionally accompanied by a small glass of anisette. --- Entry compiled automatically from [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3411523) and Wikipedia.
