Creamy Chicken Liver Pâté
- 10 -15 peppercorns
- 2 allspice berries
- 1 clove
- 4 coriander seeds
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 lb chicken liver
- salt
- 1/3 cup cream
- 1 -2 tablespoon brandy
- In a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder, combine peppercorns, allspice, clove and coriander seeds; grind until fine and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; when foam subsides, add onion and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add livers to pan and sprinkle with salt; cook livers on one side until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes, then flip them and cook the other side. Be sure to keep heat relatively high so that the outside of livers sears and inside stays pink.
- Put onion, livers and their buttery juices into a food processor or blender with remaining butter, the cream, spices and brandy. Puree mixture until it is smooth; taste and adjust seasoning.
- Put pate in a terrine or bowl, smooth top and put in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours or until fully set. Serve pate with bread or crackers.
