Freezing Duck Liver Pate and Hot Smoked Salmon Pie
Asked on 15 Nov 2017 by whh95
Hello, my questions is about freezing - can Duck Liver Pate with Armagnac and Hot Smoked Salmon Pie be frozen? Should/can the pie be cooked prior to freezing?
Thank you in advance.
Complete the recipe and chill completely, then cover, wrap well and freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and then remove from the fridge an hour before serving to take off the chill.
Assemble the fish pie as per the recipe (I would simmer the eggs for 6 minutes so they’re a bit squidgy) and leave to cool completely. Open-freeze until solid, then wrap in foil or freezer film and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and cook as per the recipe.
