  1. For the pâté, whizz all the ingredients in the food processor until the mix is spreadable but still has texture.
  2. For the pickles, combine the vinegar, honey, boiling water, dill and peppercorns and mix well. Add the sliced cucumber and red onion and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Keep in a screw-top jar in the fridge.
  4. Serve the pâté with a swirl of olive oil and fresh thyme alongside the pickles and sliced French stick.
