Method

Pâté Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a skillet, melt 50g of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken Livers

    Add the chicken livers to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside. Pour in the cognac or brandy and let it simmer for another 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Blend the Mixture

    Transfer the mixture to a food processor, add the remaining butter (50g), heavy cream, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Chill the Pâté

    Pour the pâté into a serving dish or ramekins, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.

Cherry Mostarda Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Cherries

    In a saucepan, combine the pitted cherries, sugar, and white wine vinegar. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to thicken, about 10 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Mustard

    Stir in the Dijon mustard and ground mustard seeds. Cook for another 5 minutes until well combined and thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Grilled Bread Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick pieces. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil.

  2. 8

    Grill the Bread

    Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the bread for about 2-3 minutes on each side until toasted and golden.
