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.

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.

CREAMY CHICKEN LIVER PASTA WITH WILD MORELS



Creamy Chicken Liver Pasta With Wild Morels image

Fresh wild mushrooms are the most delicious indulgence, whether it's gray-brown morels in the springtime, golden chanterelles in the summer, or russet-colored porcini in the fall. True, they are expensive (unless you know how to pick your own), but a mere half-pound is all you need for this creamy pasta - and chicken livers are cheap. Serve the pasta in small portions; it is undeniably a bit on the rich side. If you can't find wild mushrooms, use an assortment of cultivated mushrooms, like cremini, oyster mushrooms, King trumpets or shiitake. To give them more wild mushroom flavor, soak just a few a few dried morels or porcini in warm water. When softened, chop them very fine and stir into the sauce.

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 pound wild morels (or other mushrooms)
1 pound chicken livers
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Salt and pepper
Pinch of cayenne
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 large shallots, finely diced
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 to 3 cups chicken stock (or mushroom stock)
1/2 cup crème fraîche
1 pound pappardelle or other pasta
4 egg yolks
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon finely cut chives
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into 1/2-inch ribbons (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut stems from mushrooms (reserve for making mushroom stock, if desired) and cut them to bottom into halves or quarters. If they seem at all sandy, swish them very briefly in a bowl of warm water and blot on kitchen towels, then set aside. Put a large pot of water on to boil for the pasta.
  • Trim chicken livers: cut each liver into two lobes, discarding any veiny bits, then cut livers into 1-inch pieces. Put about 1 cup flour in a low bowl and add 1 teaspoon salt, a generous amount of black pepper and a pinch of cayenne. Dip liver chunks in flour mixture, then set them aside in one layer on a baking sheet.
  • Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium high heat. Quickly brown liver pieces on all sides, then remove them from the pan and blot on paper towels.
  • Add butter and shallots to pan and cook, stirring frequently, until shallots are softened and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, season generously with salt and pepper and cook them together with the shallots for about 5 minutes, until they are somewhat soft.
  • Add sherry and cook for a minute or so, then add 2 cups chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and add previously browned liver. Cook for about 5 minutes. It should look quite saucy. Add more chicken stock, if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in crème fraîche and turn off heat
  • Boil pasta until al dente and drain. While pasta is cooking, beat egg yolks, lemon juice and lemon zest together in a small bowl. Pour egg mixture slowly into chicken liver sauce, then stir for a minute or so over low heat until slightly thickened, being careful not to curdle egg.
  • Divide pasta among bowls and spoon sauce over. Mix tarragon, parsley and chives together and sprinkle over each serving. Scatter prosciutto ribbons on top, if using, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of the cooking process.
  • Use fresh chicken livers: Fresh chicken livers are more tender and flavorful than frozen livers. If you can, buy them from a local butcher or grocery store that sells fresh meat.
  • Clean the chicken livers properly: Before cooking, it's important to clean the chicken livers thoroughly. Rinse them under cold water and remove any connective tissue or fat. You can also soak the livers in milk for 30 minutes to help remove any bitterness.
  • Cook the chicken livers over medium heat: Cooking the livers over medium heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough or overcooked.
  • Don't overcook the chicken livers: Chicken livers are best when they are cooked just until they are cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and dry.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: There are many different ways to season creamed chicken livers. Some popular options include garlic, onion, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Serve the creamed chicken livers with your favorite sides: Creamed chicken livers can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
