VENISON LIVER PâTé



Venison Liver Pâté image

A very good recipe for venison liver pâté from a book called "Game for All" by Nichola Fletcher (whose family owns a venison farm in Auchtermuchty, Scotland, from whom I have bought venison by mail order on several occasions). The recipe warns that the liver must be fresh, and that it must _not_ come from a rutting stag or from a hung carcase. What you want is a nice, mild, very fresh piece of liver - farmed venison is apparently best, but talk to your supplier for advice!

8 ounces venison liver, chopped into 3/4-inch cubes
3 ounces butter, chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 egg
3 ounces fine white breadcrumbs
salt
black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the liver, butter and vinegar into a small baking dish, and cover with buttered paper or foil.
  • Braise at 350F (or 180C) for 25 minutes, stirring half-way through cooking.
  • Meanwhile, crush the garlic into a food processor and add the egg, a pinch of salt and some black pepper.
  • When the liver is brown all over but still pink inside, tip the contents of the baking dish into the food processor, then whizz until liquid.

Categories     appetizer

Time P1DT2h15m

Yield 15 servings, roughly 2 ounces each

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 1/2 cups milk
4 ounces pork liver
1 1/2 cups bread (sourdough or white)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup brandy
2 eggs
1 pound ground venison
4 ounces ground veal
3/4 cup dried cherries
3/4 cup pistachios, toasted
1 1/2 tablespoons ginger powder
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon pink salt
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Mustard, for serving
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • The night before, use 4 cups milk to soak the butchered livers.
  • In a small container, cover the bread with the remaining milk and soak for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  • Drain, dry, salt and pepper the livers.
  • Preheat a saute pan to the point where oil smokes slightly on contact. Add the canola oil and livers to the pan and brown both sides lightly. Remove to drain and cool.
  • Let the pan cool slightly, and then add the shallots and garlic. Gently sweat until translucent. Add the brandy, cook off the alcohol set aside.
  • Squeeze the bread to remove excess milk. Place the bread in a food processor. Add the livers, shallots and garlic, any liquid and scrapings from the pan and the eggs. Pulse until the contents are still chunky, but relatively consistent.
  • In large mixing bowl, combine the venison, veal, dried cherries, pistachios, ginger powder, allspice, pink salt, kosher salt and pepper, as well as the contents of the food processor. Mix well with hands.
  • Place a small amount of the mixture in plastic wrap, twisting to form a water-tight ball. Drop in simmering water until cooked through. Cool in ice water, and taste for seasoning.
  • Adjust seasoning as necessary.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Line a pate mold (or small bread pan) with plastic wrap. Fill with the pate mix, seal the top with plastic wrap and cover with foil.
  • Fill a larger cake pan with boiling water to roughly 1 1 1/2 inches. Place the pate in the water bath. Cook to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 1 hour.
  • Remove the foil and place an equal size pan or lid over the top of the pate and add weight (soup cans, brick, etc...) to help compress the pate. Place in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Slice 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve with mustard and crusty bread.

Time 1h45m

3 cups water
1 pound chicken liver
1 onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons cooking sherry
¾ cup butter, softened
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground mace

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine water, chicken livers, and sliced onion. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer for about 20 minutes, or until liver is cooked and tender. Remove from heat, drain, and discard onions. Also remove and discard any hard portions of the liver.

Tips:

  • To ensure the smoothest pâté, use a food processor or blender to blend the ingredients until completely smooth.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can finely chop the liver and other ingredients by hand, but this will take longer and may not result in as smooth a pâté.
  • Be sure to remove any connective tissue or sinew from the liver before cooking, as this can make the pâté tough.
  • If you are using a raw liver, it is important to cook it thoroughly before making the pâté. This will help to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria.
  • To add a richer flavor to the pâté, you can sauté the liver in butter or olive oil before blending it with the other ingredients.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the pâté, such as chopped onion, garlic, herbs, or spices, to taste.
  • Once the pâté is made, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Venison liver pâté is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, spread, or main course. It is a great way to use up leftover venison liver, and it is also a relatively inexpensive dish to make. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy venison, I encourage you to give this recipe a try. You may be surprised at how much you like it!
