Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2 medium shallots, peeled and finely chopped
1 pint fresh chicken livers, approximately 1 pound, trimmed
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/3 cup Madeira or port
3 tablespoons heavy cream, plus more as needed
Kosher salt to taste

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.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds fresh chicken livers, cleaned of any fat, veins and connective tissues (you should have about 1 1/4 lbs when you are finished cleaning them)

1 medium-sized onion, finely minced
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp port
fresh cracked black pepper & sea salt
crackers or crispbread

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Ensure that you have removed and discarded all connective tissue and any fat or veins from chicken livers.

Add finely-minced onion and cook until very soft and translucent Add cleaned chicken livers to pan and continue to cook over low heat until livers have just about lost all pinkness. Add port and continue simmering another two minutes until livers are just cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated. In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse bacon until finely minced. Add liver and onions and continue to pulse until very smooth. Season with plenty of fresh cracked black pepper and a little sea salt, to taste. Pulse again to incorporate well. Spoon paste into two crocks, cover with plastic wrap that you have sprayed with a little vegetable oil, and refrigerate until firm.
