Goose Liver Pate Recipes

GOOSE LIVER PATE

Steps:

• Pull the goose liver apart and carefully remove any skin and tendons without breaking the liver into many pieces. Season the liver with salt and pepper and gently knead, then transfer to a bowl and pour the port and Coganc over. Massage slightly, cover and refrigerate overnight .
• Line a 1 liter (approximately 1 quart) terrine mold with the bacon, leaving an overhang on all sides.
• Preheat the oven to 140°C (approximately 275°F). Place the liver pieces in the mold, making sure there are no gaps (it should fit tightly). Smooth the surface press the bacon over. Cover tightly with a double layer of foil. Place the terrine in a slightly larger baking dish and fill with enough 80°C (approximately 175°F) water to come halfway up the sides of the terrine. Bake 35-40 minutes. Remove from the oven, cool to room temperature and refrigerate 24 hours before serving. To serve, cut into slices and garnish as desired with lettuce, tomatoes and oranges.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine water, chicken livers, and sliced onion. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer for about 20 minutes, or until liver is cooked and tender. Remove from heat, drain, and discard onions. Also remove and discard any hard portions of the liver.
• Place cooked livers in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Add chopped onion, sherry, butter or margarine, salt, black pepper, and mace; pulse to blend. With hands lightly greased, form pate mixture into a mound, and place on a serving platter. Chill for 1 hour before serving.
