Olive oil
2 large onions, sliced
Salt
1 cup balsamic vinegar
Olive oil
2 to 3 anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons capers
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 pound chicken livers, cleaned and rinsed
1 cup white wine

Time 4h5m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter, divided
1 onion, quartered
1 tart apple - peeled, cored, and quartered
1 pound chicken livers, rinsed and trimmed
¼ cup brandy
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Set aside 1/2 cup butter to soften slightly.
  • Place onion and apple in a food processor with the steel knife blade; process until coarsely chopped.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and apple; cook and stir until lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Return onion and apple to food processor.
  • Melt 5 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over high heat; cook chicken livers until browned and just done inside, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and pour in brandy; allow to warm up without stirring. Carefully light the liquid; let flames subside.
  • Transfer chicken liver mixture to the food processor with onion and apple. Add cream and process until very smooth. Transfer mixture into a bowl and refrigerate until cool, at least 30 minutes.
  • Cut the softened 1/2 cup butter into pieces and process in the food processor; add about 1/3 of the liver mixture and blend about 5 seconds. Repeat 2 more times with remaining liver mixture. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper and blend well.
  • Transfer pate to a serving dish or several small dishes; top with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; refrigerate until chilled and set, about 3 hours.

Tips:

  • To ensure the smoothest pâté, use a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse the liver mixture until it is very fine and there are no visible chunks.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mince the liver by hand. Be sure to mince it very finely, until it is almost a paste.
  • If you want a richer pâté, use a combination of chicken livers and pork livers. Pork livers have a more intense flavor than chicken livers, so they will add depth to the pâté.
  • Be careful not to overcook the onions. They should be caramelized, but not burned. If they burn, they will give the pâté a bitter flavor.
  • Season the pâté to taste. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs, depending on your personal preference.
  • Serve the pâté with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or vegetables. You can also use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.

Conclusion:

Chicken liver pâté is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for a party or a special occasion. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, chicken liver pâté is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a new appetizer to try, give chicken liver pâté a try. You won't be disappointed!
