CHICKEN LIVER PÂTÉ
INGREDIENTS
- 250g chicken livers
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cognac (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A pinch of nutmeg (optional)
- A pinch of dried thyme (optional)
PREPARATION METHOD
- In a frying pan, first heat a tablespoon of olive oil and half the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until soft and golden.
- Add the chicken livers to the frying pan and cook until they are golden on the outside but still slightly pink on the inside. This should take about 5 minutes. You can add the cognac at this stage and flambé for an extra touch of flavor.
- Season the livers with salt, pepper, nutmeg and thyme, if using.
- Transfer the mixture from the pan to a blender or food processor.
- Add the remaining butter and a tablespoon of olive oil to the blender.
- Whisk everything together until you have a creamy, homogeneous mixture. If the pâté is too thick, you can add a little more olive oil to achieve the desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Transfer the chicken liver pâté to a jar and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop.
- Serve with slices of bread, toast, cookies or raw vegetables such as carrots and cucumbers.
