How to make it keto
Strictly omit all bread, crackers, or fruit compotes traditionally served with pâté. Ensure no sugar is added to the pâté mixture itself or to the cornichons (if possible, though unlikely for standard cornichons).
Watch out for
Small amount of onion and brandy in the pâté, cornichons (pickles) can sometimes have added sugar (check brine), accompanying sauces (e.g., fruit compotes, if served) are high carb.
