Chicken Liver Pâté

Pickled Vegetables

Serving

Method

Chicken Liver Pâté

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Livers

    Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and remove any visible fat or connective tissue.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

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

  3. 3

    Cook Chicken Livers

    Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the chicken livers to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned on the outside and still slightly pink in the center.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Cognac

    Add the cognac to the skillet, scraping the bottom to deglaze. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the cognac has reduced.

  5. 5

    Blend the Mixture

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

  6. 6

    Chill the Pâté

    Transfer the pâté to a serving dish or individual ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

Pickled Vegetables

  1. 7

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and slice the carrots and cucumbers into thin rounds. Slice the red onion into thin rings.

  2. 8

    Make the Pickling Liquid

    In a saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, black peppercorns, and mustard seeds. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.

  3. 9

    Pickle the Vegetables

    Place the sliced vegetables in a jar or container. Pour the hot pickling liquid over the vegetables, making sure they are fully submerged. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.

Serving

  1. 10

    Slice the Ciabatta

    Slice the ciabatta bread into thick slices.

  2. 11

    Serve the Pâté and Pickles

    Serve the chilled chicken liver pâté with the pickled vegetables, ciabatta slices, and a drizzle of honey on the side.
