Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons green peppercorns, drained
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • chopped parsley leaves
  • 450 g fresh chicken livers, cleaned
  • 250 g chopped yellow onions
  • 250 ml milk
  • 60 ml cognac or brandy

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    In a bowl, soak the livers in the milk for 2 hours. Drain well.
  • 2
    In a large sauté pan or skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes.
  • 3
    Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • 4
    Add the chicken livers, 1 tablespoon of the peppercorns, the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, until the livers are browned on the outside and still slightly pink on the inside, about 5 minutes.
  • 5
    Add the Cognac and cook until most of the liquid is evaporated and the livers are cooked through but still tender.
  • 6
    Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
  • 7
    Discard the bay leaves.
  • 8
    In a food processor, purée the liver mixture. Add the remaining butter in pieces and pulse to blend. Fold in the remaining 1 tablespoon peppercorns and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
  • 9
    Pack the paté into 6 individual ramekins or small molds, about 4 ounces each. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 6 hours.
  • 10
    To serve, place the ramekins on individual plates. Garnish the tops with parsley and surround with croutons. Serve with gherkins on the side.
  • Ready !
