- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pâté mixture.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of khmeli suneli in the recipe.
- To make the canapés more visually appealing, drizzle a small amount of honey over the pâté before garnishing with herbs and pomegranate seeds.
- Experiment with different types of bread for the canapés, such as sourdough or rye, to add extra depth of flavor.
- If pomegranate seeds are not available, you can substitute them with dried cranberries for a similar burst of sweetness.
