Best 10 Best Chicken Liver Pate Recipes

Chicken liver pâté is a delectable and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, a spread, or a main course. It is relatively easy to make, but it does require some patience and precision. The key to a successful chicken liver pâté is to use fresh, high-quality ingredients and to cook the livers properly. Overcooked livers will become tough and grainy, so it is important to cook them just until they are pink in the center. Once the livers are cooked, they are combined with butter, cream, and spices and then blended until smooth. The pâté can then be chilled and served.

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.
