Dwight’s Finally Famous Chicken Liver Pâté Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken Livers

   Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and trim away any connective tissue or fat.

2. 2

   Cook the Onions and Garlic

   In a skillet, melt half of the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

3. 3

   Sauté the Chicken Livers

   Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken livers to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside.

4. 4

   Deglaze with Brandy

   Remove the skillet from heat and carefully add the brandy or cognac, returning to heat to deglaze the pan. Cook for another 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Blend the Mixture

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

6. 6

   Chill the Pâté

   Transfer the blended mixture into a serving dish or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
