Time 2h30m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound chicken livers, rinsed and trimmed
⅔ cup thinly sliced onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 bay leaves
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup butter, softened
2 dashes hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
1 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons cognac

Steps:

  • Place the chicken livers, onion, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, water, and 1 teaspoon of salt into a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the livers are cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat, and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove bay leaves.
  • Place the liver mixture into a food processor, and run the machine; add the butter to the mixture, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Add the hot pepper sauce, 1 more teaspoon of salt, the black pepper, and cognac to the running machine. Process until smooth; spoon into a crock or serving bowl, cover, and chill until firm.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pâté turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the chicken livers.

This pâté is a little too rich for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for a special occasion. I might try making it with less butter next time.

I made this pâté for my husband's birthday party and he loved it! He said it was the best pâté he's ever had. I'm definitely going to make it again for our next party.

This pâté is very easy to make and it's a great way to use up leftover chicken livers. I like to serve it with crackers or bread and a dollop of chutney.

I'm not a big fan of liver, but I thought I'd give this pâté a try. I'm so glad I did! The liver flavor is very mild and the other ingredients really shine through. I especially love the sweetness of the cranberries.
