Home-made Chicken Pate with Garlic and Cognac


This recipe is so easy, you wouldn't believe your eyes... You can have a slice of piping hot bread in the morning covered in this luscious pate made by your own two hands... ;)




What you need: 

- 200-300 gr chicken liver ( preferably from chicken grown in a nice farm, all healthy and fed naturally)
- 6-7 garlic cloves cut in slices ( you can put more if you prefer a stronger garlic flavor)
- a few good splashes of good quality cognac
- aprox 100 gr butter
- salt and pepper to taste

How to make it:

1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Put the chicken liver onto an oven tray covered with baking paper in one single layer and put all over them the slices of garlic.

2. Put some salt and pepper all over the liver and then pour all over some splashes of cognac.

3. Put the tray in the oven for aprox. 20 minutes. Please make sure that when you take the liver out it is slightly dark pinkish in the middle, meaning not over done.

4. After you take it out of the oven, put the chicken liver with the garlic and its sauces in a food processor, add the butter and blend until it becomes a pate. Taste and add salt and pepper according to your preference...

This is it... This will not have the fake pink color the supermarket pate has and you'll know you don't eat plastic when eating it...:D Put some nicely in a sweet jar and offer it to your friends...  ;)
