How to Make 15 Minute Chicken Liver Pate
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Add the chicken livers, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the livers are pink inside, about 5-7 minutes. Do not overcook.
- Stir in the brandy (if using), heavy cream, and remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook for 1 minute, until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Carefully transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until completely smooth.
- Transfer the pâté to a terrine, small bowl, or ramekin. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled with crostini or crackers.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
