Duck Pâté Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck Mixture

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 50g of the butter. Add the shallots and garlic and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the duck breast, duck liver, sautéed shallots and garlic, thyme, cognac, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

  3. 3

    Add Butter

    With the food processor running, gradually add the remaining butter until fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.

  4. 4

    Transfer to a Dish

    Transfer the mixture to a terrine or a small loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover with plastic wrap.

  5. 5

    Chill the Pâté

    Refrigerate the pâté for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pâté to set.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Brioche

    When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place brioche slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the pâté from the fridge, slice it, and serve with toasted brioche and a generous spoonful of red onion chutney.
