CURRIED CHICKEN LIVER PâTé
Steps:
- Cook onion in 4 tablespoons butter in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Stir in livers, curry powder, paprika, salt, and pepper and cook, covered, over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until livers are barely pink inside, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add brandy. Purée warm mixture in a food processor with remaining butter until smooth. Pour into a 3 1/2-cup terrine and cover surface with plastic wrap. Chill until firm, at least 3 hours.
Tips:
- Mise en place is key. Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better your pâté will be. Look for chicken livers that are plump and have a deep red color. Avoid any livers that are bruised or have an off smell.
- Don't overcook the chicken livers. They should be cooked until they are just pink in the center. Overcooked chicken livers will be tough and dry.
- Let the pâté cool completely before serving. This will help it to set and develop its full flavor.
- Serve the pâté with your favorite accompaniments. Some popular options include crackers, bread, and fruit.
Conclusion:
Chicken liver pâté is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. It is relatively easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it smooth or chunky, with or without green peppercorns, chicken liver pâté is sure to please everyone at your table.
