Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken livers
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons Allspice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Brandy (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Clean the chicken livers by removing any visible fat and connective tissue. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil and 50 grams of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Step 5
Add the chicken livers to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center.
Step 6
Stir in the thyme, allspice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
If using, deglaze the pan with brandy by pouring it into the skillet and cooking for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
Step 8
Transfer the contents of the skillet to a food processor or blender. Add the heavy cream and the remaining 100 grams of butter.
Step 9
Process the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 10
Spoon the pâté into ramekins or a serving dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 11
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Serve chilled with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable slices.
