Categories     appetizer

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 cups (1 l)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup/60 ml olive oil, plus more if needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds/675 g chicken livers, trimmed
2 small carrots, cooked
4 hard-boiled eggs
A pinch of nutmeg
Bread, toast or crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • In a skillet over medium heat, saute the onions in half of the olive oil until caramelized, about 30 minutes. Remove half of the onions from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining olive oil and continue cooking over high heat until the onions are crispy and golden brown; add more olive oil if necessary. Drain on paper towels, season with salt and pepper and set aside for garnish.
  • In a small pot of salted simmering water, poach the chicken livers for 5 minutes on low heat. Drain on paper towels.
  • In a food processor, puree the livers with the carrots, 2 hard-boiled eggs and the caramelized onions until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Add nutmeg. Push through a fine mesh sieve if desired.
  • Pack the mousse into a serving dish and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Garnish with the crispy onions and grate the remaining 2 hard-boiled eggs right before serving. Serve with bread, toasts or crackers.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your pâté. Use fresh, high-quality chicken livers and other ingredients.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your pâté well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful dish.
  • Cook the Livers Properly: The livers should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked livers will become tough and dry.
  • Let the Pâté Cool Completely: Before serving, let the pâté cool completely. This will help it to set and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve with Accompaniments: Serve the pâté with a variety of accompaniments, such as crackers, bread, or fruit. This will help to balance the richness of the pâté.
