Pedro Ximénez Pâté Montaditos with Caramelised Onion

Pedro Ximénez pâté montaditos with caramelised onion are a simple, elegant recipe, perfect to serve as an appetiser at special meals, dinners with friends or celebrations.

In this recipe we use Pata Negra Pedro Ximénez Pâté 110 g, a gourmet speciality with a smooth texture and a balanced flavour, with the sweet, aromatic touch characteristic of Pedro Ximénez wine. Its combination of nuances makes it ideal for preparing sophisticated tapas in just a few minutes.

Ingredients for 4 people:

• 1 tin of Pata Negra Pedro Ximénez Pâté 110 g.
• 8 small slices of rustic bread or pan de cristal (Spanish crystal bread).
• 1 large onion.
• 1 tablespoon of soft brown sugar.
• A dash of balsamic vinegar.
• Chopped walnuts.
• Extra virgin olive oil.
• Salt, to taste.
• Freshly ground black pepper.
• A few rocket or baby leaves to garnish.

Method:

1. Slice the onion into thin strips and cook it gently in a frying pan with a little extra virgin olive oil over a low heat.
2. When the onion is soft and translucent, add the brown sugar and a dash of balsamic vinegar.
3. Cook for a few more minutes until the onion is caramelised and golden.
4. Lightly toast the bread slices so they are crisp on the outside.
5. Spread a generous layer of Pedro Ximénez pâté on each slice.
6. Add a small amount of caramelised onion on top of the pâté.
7. Finish with some chopped walnuts, a pinch of black pepper and a few rocket or baby leaves.
8. Serve the montaditos freshly made to best enjoy the contrast between the crisp bread, the smooth pâté and the sweet touch of the onion.

Chef's tip:

For an even more special touch, add a few salt flakes just before serving, or pair these montaditos with a glass of smooth red wine or a vermouth.

You can also make them in a mini format for an appetiser board alongside cured cheeses, Iberian charcuterie and nuts.
