Step-by-step recipes for chicken liver pate

As far back as I can remember, pâtés have always been one of my favorite foods for me. Of course, in my youth I had not yet cooked them myself and was content with what I found on store shelves. The quality of such products did not always satisfy me, so over time I began to think about how to learn how to cook a snack myself. As it turned out, there are many excellent recipes that even a novice cook can handle. Since my culinary exploits in the line of pate began with chicken liver, today I want to offer you a small selection of the best, in my opinion, ways to create this particular dish.

Chicken liver pate with carrots, onions and cognac in a slow cooker

This recipe can be considered basic. Having mastered it, in the future you will be able to experiment with the ingredients and come up with new recipes for pate. The dish can be prepared both in a slow cooker and using a regular frying pan, stewpan, cauldron, thick-walled saucepan or roasting pan.

Ingredients:

• 400-500 g of chicken liver;
• 1/2 carrots;
• 1/2 head of onion;
• 1 tbsp. l. cognac;
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 150-200 g butter;
• salt and black pepper to taste.

Preparation:

1. Prepare your ingredients.

   

   Prepare the products you need in advance

2. Clean the liver from fat and films, rinse under cold water.

   

   Rinse the liver under running water or in a bowl, changing the water several times

3. Cut the onions and carrots into large, freeform pieces.

   

   Vegetables for the pate can be cut into pieces of any shape

4. Turn on the multicooker in the "Oven" mode, put the chopped vegetables in the bowl.

   

   Vegetables are sent first to the multicooker bowl

5. Transfer the liver to the onions and carrots, close the lid of the appliance and cook the food for 20 minutes.

   

   Vegetables and liver will be cooked in a slow cooker at the same time

6. After 20 minutes, stir the liver with vegetables, close the multicooker again and wait for the beep to signal the end of the process.

   

   The multicooker will notify you of the end of the preparation of the pate base with a sound signal

7. Open the lid slightly, leave the blank for the pate until it cools completely.

   

   Allow the liver and vegetables to cool before the next steps in making the pate.

8. Place the liver with vegetables, softened butter, cognac, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a blender bowl.

   

   The most convenient way to grind pâté products is in a tall blender bowl.

9. Grind and mix all ingredients until smooth.

   

   The pate should be a single mass without large pieces

10. Serve the pate spread over slices of white or cereal bread.

    

    The pate can be served with any type of bread

Chicken liver pate with mushrooms

Delicate chicken liver goes well with aromatic mushrooms. An appetizer according to this recipe can be put on a festive table without the slightest doubt that someone will not appreciate it.

Ingredients:

• 800 g chicken liver;
• 100 ml of brandy;
• 2 heads of onions;
• 1, 5 tsp dry thyme;
• 600 g of champignons;
• 300 ml heavy cream;
• 200 g butter;
• salt and black pepper to taste.

Preparation:

1. Fill the washed chicken liver with cognac, stir and leave in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

   

   A couple of hours before cooking, the liver should be marinated in cognac

2. Coarsely chop the onions with a knife.

   

   The size of the onion slices is not important, since later all products are chopped using a blender.

3. Cut the marinated liver into small pieces.

   

   Each liver must be cut into several pieces.

4. Heat 50 g of butter in a frying pan, add onion, fry until soft.

5. Add chicken liver, a couple of pinches of salt and ground pepper, thyme to the onion, stir and cook for another 5 minutes.

   

   Adjust the amount of spices to your liking

6. In a separate skillet, melt another 50 g of butter and fry the finely chopped champignons.

   

   The mushrooms for the pate should be very finely chopped

7. Measure out the required amount of cream with a fat content of at least 33–35%.

   

   For the pate, cream with a high percentage of fat content is used.

8. Place the liver and cream fried with onions in a deep bowl.

   

   To avoid splattering everything around, grind the ingredients of the pate in a container with high walls.

9. Using a hand blender, grind the food until a fluid, homogeneous mixture is obtained.

   

   The resulting mass should not contain noticeable pieces of liver or onions

10. Pour the fried champignons into a bowl and mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula.

    

    After adding the mushrooms, the pate will become thicker

11. Divide the pate into small tins or jars.

    

    It is most convenient to immediately put the pate into small containers.

12. Melt the remaining butter and gently pour into all the snack containers. Thanks to this “protective layer”, the pate will not fade and will keep its appetizing appearance and excellent taste for much longer.

    

    Butter will protect food from winding

13. When the butter has solidified, move the pate to the refrigerator and let it sit for at least 8 hours.

14. Serve the finished dish with bread and fresh vegetables.

    

    Fresh or pickled vegetables, herbs and breads are an excellent addition to the pate.

Chicken liver pate with buckwheat

Chicken liver appetizer prepared according to this recipe will appeal to all lovers of buckwheat porridge.

Ingredients:

• 300 g chicken liver;
• 1/2 tbsp. buckwheat;
• 1 head of onion;
• 1-2 stalks of green onions;
• 1/2 tbsp. meat broth;
• 50–70 g butter;
• 1-2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
• salt and black pepper to taste.

Preparation:

1. Stock up on the ingredients you need.

   

   Simple products make a very tasty and satisfying dish.

2. Boil the liver for 10-15 minutes and cool.

   

   The liver needs to be boiled until soft

3. Pour buckwheat into boiling salted water (proportion of liquid and dry product 2: 1), cook until the liquid completely evaporates.

   

   For the pâté, buckwheat is pre-cooked until fully cooked.

4. Fry onions cut into small pieces until light golden brown in odorless vegetable oil.

   

   In order not to spoil the taste and aroma of food, fry the onions in refined sunflower oil

5. Pass the liver, onion and porridge through a meat grinder. To make the pate more uniform, repeat the process 1-2 more times.

   

   Uniformity of the snack is achieved by scrolling the ingredients of the pate through the meat grinder several times

6. Melt the butter, cool slightly.

   

   Butter is added to the liver mass in a melted state

7. Add warm broth, melted butter to the liver mass, add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir the pate thoroughly.

8. Put the snack on a large piece of cling film, roll it into a thick sausage, wrap it well with the same film and put it in the refrigerator for 2–4 hours.

   

   With a piece of cling film, the pate can be easily shaped into the desired shape.

9. Cut the pate into neat portions and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

   

   The rich taste and aroma of the snack will perfectly complement green onions
