November 1 is National Pâté Day and our friends at Les Trois Petits Cochons (3 Little Pigs) have a perfect way to celebrate with this recipe for an on-trend Banh Mi Sandwich.
Pate is a mixture, typically of ground cooked meat and fat, that’s minced to create a paste that’s spreadable.
Les Trois Petits Cochons began in 1975 as a small charcuterie store in Greenwich Village. Today, the company offers a variety of hand-crafted pâté and charcuterie. Learn more here.
