Ingredients

  • 350 g fresh chicken liver
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 3 tablespoon full-fat cream cheese
  • 4 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon freshly-chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Rinse the chicken livers with cold water, then gently pat dry with kitchen paper.
  • Heat up a grilling pan and grill the livers on both sides for about 6-7 minutes or until cooked through. Chop roughly and set aside.
  • Chop the onion and carrots, and add them to a pan together with the olive oil and one tablespoon of butter.
  • Sautee for about 3 minutes until soft, then add the chopped chicken livers and stir continuously for 2 minutes.
  • Add the cream cheese, ground pepper and half a teaspoon of parsley and stir to combine.
  • Use a hand blender to blend until smooth.
  • Transfer the chicken liver pâté to two ramekins, melt the remaining butter, then pour it over the pâté. 
  • Leave to cool, then cover with clingfilm and refrigerate. Serve cold, garnished with parsley.

Notes

  • Click on the US Customary link to see the measurements displayed in cups and ounces.
  • The servings can be adjusted by clicking the number next to Servings.
  • Sealing it with butter helps keep it fresh, so that's one step not to be skipped. I usually transfer the pâté to ramekins and cover them with clingfilm and then refrigerate.
