Chicken Liver Pate

I know that liver pate recipes are many and different - simpler, more complicated - I propose something more medium. The taste is very, very good - slightly accentuated and topped on with onion glazed in wine.

Of course, it's a healthy alternative to commercial sausages and pâtés - which aren't even worth discussing, everyone knows what they contain.

Ingredients

Chicken liver
400 g
White onion
3 pieces
Carrots
1 piece
optional, but I recommend
Butter
100 g
Heavy cream (32% fat)
100 ml
Brandy or cognac
50 ml
or semi-dry white wine
Sunflower oil
50 ml
Red dry wine
200 ml
Brown sugar
2 tbsp
Pepper
0.5 tsp
Salt
1 tsp
to taste

Step by step

Step 1

We prepare the ingredients - onions and carrots are cleaned, washed. The liver is cleaned, washed and cut into smaller pieces.

And on the occasion that I brought a good brandy and matured 5 years, I used properly as a book brandy brandy and not brendy or wine (although it can be replaced).

Step 2

Carrot is given through the larger grater.

Step 5

After the onion and carrots are well cooked (but be careful, they do not brown!), Add the livers.

Stir periodically and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes on medium heat, until it starts to brown.

Step 6

Then comes the most interesting part - flambé the liver with brandy.

Be very careful not to have the hood on - and do the following:

- Pour the brandy into the pan with the liver

Step 7

With a lighter or matches, light the alcohol fumes that are removed and leave until the flame disappears completely.

In the meantime, stir or mix the composition from the pan - do all the procedures carefully and everything will be fine, without accidents :)

If you use white wine, it is no longer necessary to turn on the steam, just let it boil for 5-10 minutes on low heat and that's it.

Then add a little salt and pepper to the composition and remove from the heat.

With a vertical mixer pass the whole mixture well, be careful not to leave the pieces and small particles unprocessed by the mixer.

Step 11

To give a more attractive shape to the pate, move it to a nicer container in which to cool.

I used the lid on the spreader - I spread food grade plastic wrap and moved the composition into it. I leveled well and left it in the fridge for a few hours, or overnight.

Step 12

And now let's move on to the part with glazed onions - a strange thing at first (because it doesn't have a special taste) - but let's see what an extraordinary combination it makes with pate.

And here's how:

In a smaller saucepan, boil the red wine with the brown sugar.

Step 13

Let simmer for about 10 minutes.

Step 14

Onions (1 piece) are cut into juliennes.

Step 15

After the wine has been cooked for 10 minutes, add the onion. Stir and bring to a boil together.

Step 16

You will notice that along the way the whole composition starts to thicken.

Step 17

It is ready when it becomes thicker, but be careful not to let it dry - otherwise it solidifies too much on cooling and is harder to serve.

When it is ready, remove it from the heat, add a little pepper (if you like even peppercorns, it will be more spicy).

Step 18

Allow the composition to cool and use it when serving the pate.

Step 19

I served it / decorated it as for family consumption - I turned the plate over, carefully I took out the hardened pate - with a teaspoon I dug a little into it and there I filled it with the glazed onion mixture.

When you spread it on the bread, take a little onion and see what divine taste it will have, gourmets know :)

Step 20

And here a way to garnish and serve portioned, on a plate.

The pate was cooled into small, oval tart shapes, with soft butter on top.

Good appetite!
