For the Chicken Liver Mousse

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Livers

    Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat and connective tissue.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 40g of the butter. Add the finely chopped shallots and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Livers

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken livers to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned on the outside but still pink inside. Add the brandy and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

  4. 4

    Blend the Mixture

    Transfer the liver mixture to a food processor. Add the remaining butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  5. 5

    Chill the Mousse

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the chicken liver mousse chilled with blackberry mostarda, cornichons, and sliced baguette.
