We assume that you know how industrial pate is made. But if you still love to eat it, you can always make your own.
Check out this amazing home-made chicken liver pate below.
Ingredients:
- ½ pound chicken livers
- ½ small onion
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 bay leaf
- ¼ teaspoon thyme leaves
- ½ cup water
- 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Cognac
- salt and pepper
The Process:
In a medium pan, add the well-trimmed chicken liver, the thinly sliced onions, the smashed garlic, the bay leaf, the thyme and ½ tsp of salt. Pour water and bring it to a simmer. Then, cover it, and leave it to cook at low temperature. Don’t forget to stir it from time to time.
Cook it for about 3 minutes, or until the livers are barely pink inside. Then, remove it from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes.
Put the mixture into a food processor, but don’t forget to take out the bay leaf. While the food is processing, add the butter, the Cognac, the salt and pepper.
When it’s done, place the pate into a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and put it into the refrigerator.
