Chicken Liver Pâté

The simplest and most delicious way to cook chicken livers is to make a silky-smooth pâté out of them. It seems like a fancy dish, but it’s actually quite inexpensive to make. I wanted to come up with a slightly healthier version of this indulgent dish, so I decided to steam the chicken livers instead of frying or boiling them. However, if you like, you can boil the livers – it won’t affect the taste too much. I also decided to make this pâté kid-friendly, so I didn’t use any wine or cognac, although that is usually customary. But you’ll be surprised how delicious and smooth this pâté tastes.

You can serve chicken liver pâté with any kind of bread you like. And if you’re making this dish for your kids, you can cut the bread into funny shapes. Or get them to help out and turn this into a kitchen activity for the whole family!

Chicken Liver Pâté: Приготування

Крок 1

Prepare all of the ingredients you’ll be using to make the pâté. Trim the excess fat off the livers and steam them for about 15 minutes. If you prefer to boil them, it will take the same amount of time. Just make sure to drop the livers into boiling water.

Крок 2

Slice the onion into rings, then cut the rings into quarters. In a skillet, melt about 30g butter over low heat and sautee the onions until soft. It should take about 5 minutes or so. Be careful not to fry the onion too much – it should be soft and translucent, but not golden or crispy.

Крок 3

Transfer the steamed livers, sauteed onions and about 120g butter into the bowl of a blender. Salt to taste and blitz until smooth.

Крок 4

Scrape the pâté into ramekins. Use a spoon or an offset spatula to even out the surface.

Крок 5

Melt the remaining 50g butter – we’re going to use it to keep the pâté from drying out. It will also keep the pâté fresh longer. Pour the melted butter onto the pâté, cover the ramekins and transfer them to the freezer for about 4 hours.

Крок 6

Serve the pâté with pieces of toasted slices of baguette or any other kind of bread. I wanted to make the dish a little more kid-friendly, so I cut out little figures out of bread using a cookie cutter.
