Method

Chicken Liver Mousse

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Livers

    Clean the chicken livers by removing any connective tissue and veins. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken Livers

    Add the chicken livers to the skillet, cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Add cognac, cook for another 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blend the Mixture

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

  5. 5

    Chill the Paté

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

  6. 6

    Wrap with Prosciutto

Apple Onion Jam

  1. 7

    Cook the Jam

    In a saucepan, combine apples, onion, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Cook over medium heat until apples are soft and mixture is thickened, about 20 minutes.

    Mix the Pear Mustard

    In a bowl, combine diced pear, yellow mustard, and honey. Mix until well combined.
