Rustic Pork Pâté

Savory pork pâté with a textured celery-root filling, wrapped in flaky butter crust. Sweet contrast from chopped dried apricots replaces dates, while ground ginger swaps with clove for warmth. Cook celery-root until tender but still holds shape. Pork mixture should brown lightly; liquid evaporates fully. Dough cold and firm before rolling out. Build rustic pouch with pleated edges, leaving a central vent to let steam escape during baking. Serve with lemony celery garnish tossed in olive oil and fresh herbs. A balance of savory, earthy, and subtly sweet elements. Techniques focus on texture, aromas, and controlling moisture levels for a firm but tender final result.
