Ingredients

• 400 g Chicken livers
• 150 g Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 Shallots
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme
• 50 ml Brandy or cognac
• 50 ml Heavy cream
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Allspice
• 1 Bay leaf
• 50 g Melted butter (for sealing top, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the chicken livers by removing any connective tissue or greenish parts. Rinse gently under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Finely dice the shallots and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cleaned chicken livers to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until just browned but still pink in the center. Do not overcook, as this will affect the texture of the pâté.

Step 5

Sprinkle the thyme, salt, pepper, and allspice over the livers, then add the bay leaf. Pour in the brandy and simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off. Remove from heat and discard the bay leaf.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to a food processor, along with 100g of the unsalted butter (reserve the rest for later) and the heavy cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If you desire a smoother texture, push the mixture through a fine mesh sieve before transferring to serving ramekins or jars.

Step 8

Melt the remaining 50g of unsalted butter and pour a thin layer over the top of the pâté to seal it. Optionally, garnish with a thyme sprig.

Step 9

Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and firm. The butter seal helps preserve the pâté for up to 4-5 days.

Step 10

Serve chilled with crusty bread, crackers, or pickles for a delicious appetizer.
