I followed instructions as listed except for using celery leafs instead of parsley. I used 1 capful of "Reallemon" lemon juice as this item was not listed in the ingredients only in instructions. I served this on canape crackers and tossed a few capers with them and they went very quicly. Great Pate. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
