Curried Chicken Liver Pâté Recipes

CHICKEN LIVER PâTé

Steps:

• Brown the butter: Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large sauté pan on medium heat and let the butter brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not let it burn.
• Add the capers, thyme, garlic, and anchovy paste: Once the livers have browned, add the capers, thyme, garlic, and anchovy paste if using, and sauté another minute.
• Purée in a food processor: Put the mixture into a food processor or blender and pulse a few times to combine. Add the remaining butter and the cream and purée. The mixture will look a little loose, but it will firm up in the fridge.

CHICKEN-LIVER PâTé

Steps:

• Put a large, heavy sauté pan over medium heat, and melt 4 tablespoons of the butter until it begins to foam. Add the shallots, and sauté them until translucent, being careful not to allow them to brown. Add the livers, thyme and Madeira or port, and bring the heat to high. Cook, occasionally stirring the livers around in the pan with a spoon, until the wine has reduced and the livers are lightly browned but still very soft and pink on the inside, approximately 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the stove, and put its contents into a blender or food processor, along with the cream and the remaining butter. Purée until smooth, adding a little more cream if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt if necessary.
• Pack the pâté into a glass jar or bowl, then smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about two hours or up to five days. Serve with bacon-onion jam and copious amounts of toast.

CURRIED CHICKEN LIVER PâTé

Steps:

• Cook onion in 4 tablespoons butter in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Stir in livers, curry powder, paprika, salt, and pepper and cook, covered, over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until livers are barely pink inside, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add brandy. Purée warm mixture in a food processor with remaining butter until smooth. Pour into a 3 1/2-cup terrine and cover surface with plastic wrap. Chill until firm, at least 3 hours.

CHICKEN LIVER PâTé

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of the butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter is foaming, add the chicken livers and fry for 2 mins each side.
• Stir the crushed garlic, some of the thyme and Madeira into the pan with the livers. Fry for 2 mins, letting the Madeira simmer. Transfer the mixture to a food processor, reserve 200g of the butter and add the rest to the processor. Blend everything to a smooth paste. Season to taste, then spoon into 4 x 70ml clip-top jars.
• Melt the reserved butter in a medium frying pan and add the sliced garlic. Turn the garlic in the butter until slightly golden. Pour into the 4 jars of pâté, ensuring a few slices of garlic and the remaining thyme leaves go in each jar, and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hrs, or until set. Can be made up to 2 days in advance.
• Before serving, toast the brioche, then cut into triangular quarters for serving. Stir the diced apple through the chutney. Serve the pâté on small wooden boards with the toasted brioche, cornichons and chutney.

FRIED LIVER CURRY ( LAMB, PORK OR CHICKEN )

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan and add the mustard, stir well to blend them together, add the onion and fry till just golden.
• Mix together the turmeric, chilli powder, black pepper, salt and the ginger with a little milk to make a thin paste.
• Coat the liver with the spice mix and add to the pan with the garlic. Cover the pan and cook over low heat till the liver is tender.
• Serve with rice or noodles.

CURRIED CHICKEN LIVERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together: flour, curry powder, tumeric, garlic powder and pepper.
• Roll chicken livers one by one in flour mixture and place on a plate.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Place chicken livers in a single layer in skillet.
• Sprinkle garlic salt over the chicken livers.
• Let cook about 5 minutes and flip livers over. Sprinkle them with more garlic salt.
• Let cook about 5 more minutes more and test for doneness. Some people like them pink in the middle. I like them well done and browned through. I usually flip them one more time and cook them until the coating is browned all over and no more blood seeps out (about 15 minutes total). Some of the coating will crumble off or stick to the pan. I just scoop it up and serve it all together. Yum!

CHICKEN LIVER PATE
