The method

Step by step

1
Place the pecans and walnuts into the bowl of a food processor.
About 1 min
2
Pulse the nuts until they are finely ground into a coarse, sandy texture.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Be careful not to over-process, or you will end up with nut butter.
3
Add the chopped cooked chicken to the food processor with the ground nuts.
About 1 min
4
Pulse several times until the chicken is broken down and thoroughly mixed with the nuts.
About 2 min
5
Add the mayonnaise, minced crystallized ginger, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and white wine vinegar to the processor.
About 1 min
6
Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
About 2 min
7
Transfer the pâté to a medium bowl and stir in the sliced green onions.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Stirring the onions in by hand preserves their texture and prevents them from turning the pâté green.
8
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
About 30 min
