🥄 Texture
The bowl combines fluffy, slightly separate rice with tender, seared chicken pieces and soft, creamy avocado. Diced tomatoes and bell pepper add a slight crispness while the pâté melts into a velvety, rich mouthfeel.
👃 Aroma
A warm, savory aroma of cooked chicken and olive oil is lifted by the pâté's rich, slightly gamey notes. Fresh tomato and bell pepper give subtle bright, vegetal top notes that keep the scent from feeling heavy.
🍷 Pairs Well With
A light-bodied red (e.g., Beaujolais or Pinot Noir) or a dry rosé; alternatively a crisp, unoaked white (like Sauvignon Blanc) or sparkling water with lemon.
🥗 Side Dishes
Simple mixed green salad with a mustard vinaigrette, crusty baguette or buttered toast, or roasted green beans or asparagus; cornichons or a small plate of pickled vegetables for contrast.
