Categories     Food Processor     Chicken     Appetizer     Currant     Cognac/Armagnac     Chill     Simmer     Boil     Gourmet     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 large garlic clove, chopped fine
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 pound chicken livers, trimmed
1/4 cup Cognac or other brandy
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
a pinch ground allspice
1/3 cup dried currants
Accompaniment: toasted French bread slices or crackers

Steps:

  • In a large heavy skillet cook onion and garlic in butter over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Pat dry chicken livers and season with salt and pepper. Add livers to onion mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but barely pink inside, about 10 minutes. Add brandy and simmer 2 minutes. Transfer hot mixture to a food processor and add nutmeg, allspice, and salt and pepper to taste. Purée mixture until very smooth and cool mixture.
  • While pâté is cooling, in a bowl cover currants with boiling water and soak 5 minutes. Drain currants and pat dry between paper towels.
  • Transfer pâté to bowl and stir in currants. Pack pâté in a crock (or crocks). Chill pâté, its surface covered with plastic wrap, at least 6 hours and up to 3 days. Bring pâté to room temperature before serving.
  • Serve pâté with toasts or crackers.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your pâté the best flavor. If you can, try to buy your ingredients from a local farmer's market or grocery store.
  • Don't overcook the chicken livers: Overcooked chicken livers will be tough and dry. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Season the pâté to taste: Season your pâté to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for extra flavor.
  • Chill the pâté before serving: Chilled pâté is easier to slice and serve. Chill the pâté for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Chicken liver and brandy pâté is a delicious and versatile appetizer or main course. It can be served with crackers, bread, or vegetables. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken livers. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious chicken liver and brandy pâté that will impress your friends and family.
