Chicken Pate

Tips: This pate can be made equally successfully with other kinds of cooked meat, such as turkey, beef, and pork. Alternatively, replace the chicken and ham with peeled shrimp and/or white crabmeat or with canned tuna in water, drained. Remember that removing the skin from the poultry reduces the fat content of any dish.

8 oz lean, skinless chicken, cooked
small bunch fresh parsley
1 tsp lime rind, grated
2 tbsp lime juice
1 garlic clove, peeled

DIRECTIONS:
