Bourbon-Pecan Pâté Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-4084

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 pound chicken livers, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup apple juice
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
Parsley
Toasted pecan halves
Apple and/or pear wedges
Assorted crackers or toasted bread

Steps:

  • In a skillet brown the chopped pecans in butter until golden. Remove pecans; set aside. These will be used to garnish the pate. Add chicken livers, onion, and garlic to skillet. Cook over medium heat until livers are brown and onion is tender. Stir in apple juice, paprika, salt, pepper, and allspice. Reduce heat. Cover; simmer for 3 minutes. Combine chicken broth and gelatin; let stand for 5 minutes to soften. Stir broth mixture into hot mixture; stir to dissolve gelatin. Remove from heat; stir in bourbon and let the mixture cool slightly. In a blender container or food processor bowl carefully blend or process about half of the liver mixture at a time until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans. Pour into a lightly oiled 2 1/2 to 3 cup mold. Cover and chill for 6 hours or until firm or up to 24 hours. Unmold onto platter; garnish with parsley and pecan halves*. Serve with apple and/or pear wedges and crackers or bread. Makes 16 appetizer servings. * To help unmold the pate, place the mold in a bowl or sink of warm water just until the edges are loosened from the mold. Invert.

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened bourbon. Sweetened bourbon will make the brittle too sweet.
  • Toast the pecans before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help prevent the brittle from burning.
  • Cook the brittle until it reaches the desired hardness. If you cook it for too long, it will become too hard and brittle.
  • Let the brittle cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Bourbon pecan brittle is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great gift for friends and family, and it's also a great way to use up leftover bourbon. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this delicious treat that is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
