This recipe is very tasty with an interesting texture. Unless you're a fan of hard work, use a food processor. The pate was originally pounded to the proper consistency in a mortar and pestle...

The cinnamon flavor is discernible but not overpowering. I've actually made this recipe and found it to be a keeper.
