\"Bean <\/picture>
\nThis month’s challenge was different from what I expected but I liked it. I kind of make bean spreads quite often but never actually made a bean p\u00e2t\u00e9 before. The result was quite tasty I must say! However, the p\u00e2t\u00e9 is supposed to be eated cold with bread to go with the summery weather, in the northern hemisphere at present. Well, in Ireland, it’s not very summery at the moment, despite being in the northern half of the planet. And especially, I chose to do this challenge just on the eve of the posting date. It was rainy and not warm. So, I decided to make a warm hearty bread to compensate – Sweet Potato Bread. And my, was that tasty! I’m not a great fan of bread in general but I am a fan of sweet potato and BoyfriendLovlie is quite the contrary. With this bread, it seems like we found common ground!

\nOur hostesses this month, Evelyne<\/a> of Cheap Ethnic Eatz<\/a> and Valerie<\/a> of a The Chocolate Bunny<\/a>, chose delicious pate with freshly baked bread as their June Daring Cook\u2019s challenge! They\u2019ve provided us with 4 different pate recipes to choose from and are allowing us to go wild with our homemade bread choice.<\/p>\n

THE DARING COOKS JUNE 2010 CHALLENGE: P\u00c2T\u00c9S AND BREAD<\/strong><\/p>\n

I chose to make the Tricolour Bean P\u00e2t\u00e9 and it turned out tastier than I thought it would be. All three layers combined give a delicious taste. And eaten as a spread on the warm Sweet Potato Bread, it was just perfect for this moist evening.
\nI can’t believe how easy and quick it was to whip this p\u00e2t\u00e9 together. I already had boiled butter beans, red kidney beans and cannellini beans. I usually regularly boil a big batch of beans, divide them into small portions and freeze them in freezer bags. This makes preparing meals that call for them so much quicker.
\nThe p\u00e2t\u00e9 took me a little over half an hour to do. The bread was a very easy one but it does require about one and a half hours to rise. So, if you are making both on the same day, you may want to start with the bread first and leave it to rise while you make the p\u00e2t\u00e9.<\/p>\n
