Foie Aux Oignons Dip
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup sliced or slivered almonds, blanched if desired
- 1 small white or yellow onion, diced (1/2 cup)
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken livers, halved
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse-ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon hand-rubbed fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon ground dried sage
- 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/4-1/3 cups dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- Cut bacon into thin strips. In a 4-quart saucepan, cook and stir bacon over medium heat until crispy and golden. Remove bacon to a plate lined with paper toweling and set aside.
- Carefully spoon or pour bacon grease from saucepan. Add butter and almonds and cook over medium heat until almonds just begin to color; place in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add onions to saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and just beginning to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Stir in chicken livers, turn heat to medium-low and cook gently until they are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, sage, cream cheese, reserved almonds and 1/4 cup wine. Process with an immersion blender until smooth, adding additional wine if the mixture seems too thick. (Or transfer contents to a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process until smooth.) Taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Stir in parsley and reserved bacon by hand. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate. Remove from refrigerator 15 minutes before serving; serve with bagel chips, rye toasts or sesame crackers.
