Chicken Liver Pate
Chicken Liver Pate
• 8 T. unsalted butter, divided in half
• 1.5 shallot, cut into half moons
• 2 garlic cloves, cut into thin rounds
• 1 pint chicken livers, rinsed and drained
• 2 sprigs of thyme
• 1 tsp peppercorn
• ¼ c. madiera
• 3 – 4 T. heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
1. In a large sauté pan, melt 1 of the halves (4T) of butter over medium low heat. When the butter is melted, add the shallots and garlic and peppercorns and sweat out for 6-8 minutes, do not let brown.
2. Next turn the heat up to medium – medium high and add the thyme and the chicken livers. Caramelize the livers on both sides, all while keeping the insides at medium rare – (4 mins per side).
3. When the livers are done, add the madiera and cook briefly, only to cook off the raw alcohol flavor. At this point, transfer to a food processor and puree with the heavy cream and the rest of the butter. Make sure the mixture is fairly smooth, but not over worked – also check for final seasonings at this point.
4. Transfer immediately to a mold and cool, placing a piece of saran wrap over the top the mixture only so a skin doesn’t form. Eat when cool.
