Ingredients

6 to 8 tablespoons chicken or duck fat, or clarified butter
1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 pound chicken livers, connective tissue removed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 inch long piece fresh ginger, peeled and slivered
1/4 cup amontillado sherry
1/3 cup heavy cream
Salt
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Melt 3 tablespoons fat in a 12-inch skillet. Add mustard, cardamom and cumin and sauté until spices sizzle and are fragrant. Add livers and sauté over medium-low heat, turning, until cooked but still pink inside, about 10 minutes. Remove livers from pan.
Add 2 tablespoons fat, onion and ginger to skillet and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add sherry, simmer about 5 minutes until somewhat reduced, stir in cream and cook until it starts to thicken. Transfer livers and contents of skillet to food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon mousse into a crock or bowl and smooth the top. Melt 2 tablespoons remaining fat and pour onto surface of mousse. Use an additional tablespoon of fat if needed to cover the surface. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Scrape fat off before serving, or mix it into mousse.

This recipe was a bit more time-consuming than I expected. It took me about an hour to make the mousse.

I had a hard time finding chicken livers at my local grocery store. I ended up having to order them online.

The flavor of this mousse was a bit too strong for me. I think it would be better if the spices were toned down a bit.

I found this mousse to be a bit too rich for my taste. I think it would be better if it was served in smaller portions.

I'm not usually a fan of liver, but this mousse was surprisingly delicious. The spices really balanced out the flavor of the liver.
