Method

Preparation

1

Sauté the liver

In a skillet, melt 50 grams of butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, sauté until softened. Add the chicken liver and cook until browned but still slightly pink inside, about 5-7 minutes.

2

Flambé

Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully add the cognac. Return to the heat and flambé to burn off the alcohol. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

3

Blend the mixture

Transfer the liver mixture to a food processor. Add the remaining butter (50 grams), salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

4

Incorporate cream

While blending, gradually add the heavy cream until fully combined and smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.

5

Chill the mousse

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

Garnish and serve

Once the mousse is set, remove from the refrigerator. Garnish with sliced cornichons and chopped parsley before serving.
