Pâté Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt half of the butter. Add finely chopped shallots and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Duck Liver

    Add the duck liver to the skillet and cook until browned on the outside but still pink inside, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the port wine and thyme, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Blend the Mixture

    Transfer the liver mixture to a food processor. Add the remaining butter, salt, black pepper, and heavy cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Chill the Pâté

    Transfer the mixture into a serving dish or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve chilled with gluten-free crackers or bread.
