facebook share image   twitter share image   pinterest share image   E-Mail share image

Chicken liver pâté is a classic French dish that is both delicious and easy to make. It is made with chicken livers, butter, cream, and spices, and is typically served with crackers or bread. This recipe includes a redcurrant gelee, which adds a sweet and tart flavor to the pâté.

The recipe also includes instructions for making a classic pâté de campagne, which is a French country pâté made with pork and veal. This pâté is more rustic than the chicken liver pâté, and has a coarser texture. It is typically served with cornichons and bread.

Finally, the recipe includes instructions for making a vegetarian pâté, which is made with lentils, mushrooms, and nuts. This pâté is a good source of protein and fiber, and is a great option for vegetarians and vegans.

All three of these pâtés are delicious and easy to make, and are perfect for a party or a special occasion.

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.

CREAMY CHICKEN LIVER PâTé



Creamy Chicken Liver Pâté image

French pâté is in fact easier to make than my grandmother's chopped liver, which called for rendering chicken fat. Here, you just soften onions in butter, cook the livers, cool, purée and refrigerate. You don't have to bother with soaking the livers in milk, a step found in many recipes. Season aggressively: you want to taste the pepper, the coriander, the brandy and even the allspice and clove. Finally, cook the liver quickly, over pretty high heat. What you want is to brown the outside while keeping the inside pink. This, perhaps, is another major difference between pâté and chopped liver, in which the livers are almost always cooked to death.

Categories     dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 3h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 to 15 peppercorns
2 allspice berries
1 clove
4 coriander seeds
1/2 cup butter
1 onion, chopped
1 pound chicken livers
Salt
1/3 cup cream
1 to 2 tablespoons brandy
Bread or crackers for serving

Steps:

  • In a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder, combine peppercorns, allspice, clove and coriander seeds; grind until fine and set aside.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; when foam subsides, add onion and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add livers to pan and sprinkle with salt; cook livers on one side until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes, then flip them and cook the other side. Be sure to keep heat relatively high so that the outside of livers sears and inside stays pink.
  • Put onion, livers and their buttery juices into a food processor or blender with remaining butter, the cream, spices and brandy. Purée mixture until it is smooth; taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Put pâté in a terrine or bowl, smooth top and put in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours or until fully set. Serve pâté with bread or crackers.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your pâté. Use the freshest chicken livers you can find.
  • Soak the Chicken Livers: Soaking the chicken livers in milk helps to remove any bitterness and impurities. This will result in a smoother and more flavorful pâté.
  • Cook the Chicken Livers Properly: Overcooked chicken livers will be tough and dry. Cook them just until they are no longer pink in the center.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your pâté generously. The flavors will mellow out as the pâté chills.
  • Chill the Pâté Thoroughly: Before serving, make sure to chill the pâté thoroughly. This will help it to set and develop its full flavor.
