Categories     appetizer

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 cups (1 l)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup/60 ml olive oil, plus more if needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds/675 g chicken livers, trimmed
2 small carrots, cooked
4 hard-boiled eggs
A pinch of nutmeg
Bread, toast or crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • In a skillet over medium heat, saute the onions in half of the olive oil until caramelized, about 30 minutes. Remove half of the onions from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining olive oil and continue cooking over high heat until the onions are crispy and golden brown; add more olive oil if necessary. Drain on paper towels, season with salt and pepper and set aside for garnish.
  • In a small pot of salted simmering water, poach the chicken livers for 5 minutes on low heat. Drain on paper towels.
  • In a food processor, puree the livers with the carrots, 2 hard-boiled eggs and the caramelized onions until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Add nutmeg. Push through a fine mesh sieve if desired.
  • Pack the mousse into a serving dish and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Garnish with the crispy onions and grate the remaining 2 hard-boiled eggs right before serving. Serve with bread, toasts or crackers.

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.

Categories     dinner, dips and spreads, appetizer, main course

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.

  • Cook the chicken livers over medium heat until they are just cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and dry.
  • Be sure to season the chicken livers well with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • When making the redcurrant gelee, be sure to use fresh redcurrants. If you can't find fresh redcurrants, you can use frozen redcurrants, but be sure to thaw them completely before using them.
  • Let the redcurrant gelee set for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow it to develop its full flavor.
