Method

Boil the peas in the chicken stock for 2 minutes. Allow the peas to cool down.
Drain the peas and blend with 30 ml of olive oil, salt and black pepper and sugar in a food processor. Add a bit of the chicken stock if the pate seems to thick.
Spoon it into a pate dish, sprinkle with pine nuts and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
