About Pate chinois

Pâté chinois is a classic French-Canadian dish resembling shepherd's pie. It typically consists of three distinct layers: seasoned ground beef, creamed corn, and a topping of mashed potatoes, often enhanced with butter or milk for creaminess. Thought to have originated from Quebec, it likely reflects early working-class meals, blending affordable and accessible ingredients. While hearty and comforting, the nutritional profile of pâté chinois depends largely on its preparation. The ground beef is a good source of protein and iron, while the mashed potatoes provide carbohydrates and potassium. Creamed corn contributes some fiber, though often includes added sugars. Depending on the recipe, the dish can be high in saturated fats, especially with butter and fatty cuts of beef, making moderation key. To boost its healthfulness, leaner ground meat and low-fat dairy options can be used, and the inclusion of additional vegetables can add more vitamins and minerals.
