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
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
