- In a bowl, mix together first seven ingredients. Set aside.
- Using either a pâté pan or loaf pan, put a layer of the mix you made, then a layer of chicken, then mix again, then a layer of pork. Continue with this pattern until the pan is full, making sure to end with the mix.

- Let pâtés cool completely then wrap in aluminum foil and freeze in freezer bags.
- Important, this is best if you allow it to remain in the freezer for at least one month before eating.
- To serve, allow to defrost completely, then slice in 1/4 inch slices and serve with good crusty french bread or high quality crackers.
