CHICKEN LIVER PATE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Put a large, heavy sauté pan over medium heat, and melt 4 tablespoons of the butter until it begins to foam. Add the shallots, and sauté them until translucent, being careful not to allow them to brown. Add the livers, thyme and Madeira or port, and bring the heat to high. Cook, occasionally stirring the livers around in the pan with a spoon, until the wine has reduced and the livers are lightly browned but still very soft and pink on the inside, approximately 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the stove, and put its contents into a blender or food processor, along with the cream and the remaining butter. Purée until smooth, adding a little more cream if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt if necessary.
• Pack the pâté into a glass jar or bowl, then smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about two hours or up to five days. Serve with bacon-onion jam and copious amounts of toast.

Steps:

• Mince the pork liver and mix with the pork and salt pork. Stir in nutmeg, oregano, bay leaf. Pour in the brandy, dry white wine. Mix well. Season with black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
• Fill the terrine with pork mixture, and press down firmly. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Cook in preheated oven for 1¼ hours.
• Turn off the oven. Remove cooked pate from the oven. Cool, and allow to set in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before cutting.
