Braunschweiger Pate

My sister-in-law gave me this recipe years ago. I just looked it up in  y e-mail and am parking it here for future reference. 

Ingredients:
·         8 oz. liverwurst or braunschweiger
·         8 oz. cream cheese, softened
·         2 small green onions, minced
·         1.5 tablespoons dried onions (or 1 tablespoon fresh onion, finely minced)
·         ¾ teaspoon dried dill weed
·         1/4 -1/2 teaspoon garlic granules (or one small garlic clove, minced)
·         Ground pepper (to taste)
·         1-2 tablespoons capers (to taste)

Instructions:
·         Thoroughly blend together all ingredients except capers.
·         Fold in capers, reserving a few for garnish.
·         Cover mixture and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.
·         Garnish as desired.
·         Serve with Melba toast, crackers, or sliced baguettes (I use pork rinds or sliced cucumber or celery, when eating low carb)

Serves 6-8 as an appetizer.
