Pâté

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Shallots and Garlic

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

  2. 2

    Cook Chicken Livers

    Add the chicken livers to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside.

  3. 3

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and brandy, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the brandy has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Blend the Mixture

    Transfer the mixture to a food processor, add the remaining butter and heavy cream, and blend until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Chill the Pâté

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