Ingredients

  • 1 pound of chicken liver
  • 1/2 a cup of unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • A dash of brandy
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 a teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 a teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1/4 a cup heavy cream
  • Crackers of your choice

Instructions

  1. Clean and trim the chicken livers, ensuring a velvety texture. Set aside in a bowl. Meanwhile, in a medium pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Sauté finely chopped onions and minced garlic until lightly brown.
  2. Add your chicken livers to the pan. Brown them on the outside while keeping a slight pinkness inside. Add a splash of brandy, allowing it to simmer until the alcohol evaporates. Sprinkle dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the livers. Simmer until fully cooked, infusing the flavors.
  3. Transfer the cooked mixture to a food processor. Add the remaining butter and heavy cream. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Spoon the pâté into a dish, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld. Before serving, let the pâté come to room temperature. Arrange your favorite crackers alongside for a fantastic pairing.
  5. You can also drizzle melted butter, a sprinkle of fresh thyme, or cracked black pepper for an elegant touch.
