Le petit pâté de PézenasPetit pâté de Pézenas is a specialty of the town of Pézenas in the Hérault département of France. The size and shape of a spool of sewing thread, these little meat pies are a golden brown, crispy pastry with a moist, sweet inside, composed of lean roast mutton, sheep suet, brown and white sugar, lemon peel, salt, and pepper. They can be eaten as an hors d'oeuvre, with a salad or as a dessert. They are cooked in patisseries all over the town. According to legend, Lord Clive or his cook invented the recipe using spices from India and taught it to the pastry makers of Pézenas when they were staying at the Château de Larzac in 1768. The same filling is also used in Tourte de Pézenas, made with flaky pastry.
