Chicken Liver Mousse Ingredients:

• 700 g chicken liver;
• 1 carrot;
• 1 onion;
• 1 tbsp. oil;
• 40 g unsalted butter;
• salt and pepper to taste.

How to make chicken liver paste at home:

• Rinse chicken liver under cold running water, to make this task easier use a colander and leave it inside to drain all the excess liquid. Make sure that all the pieces are of the same size, cut the liver in half if necessary, and get rid of all the white veins.

• Peel vegetables. Grate or cut carrot into small pieces, chop onion.

• Heat oil in the skillet over medium heat; add vegetables. Sauté until veggies are soft (about five minutes or so).

• Add chicken liver (you can pour additional oil into the skillet if you see that skillet surface is too dry).

• Cook liver for 5 minutes for each side, combine with vegetables, and lower the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and sauté chicken liver with vegetables for an additional 10 to 15 minutes (until the liver is cooked through).

• Set the skillet aside and let the inside cool down for some time. Transfer sautéed liver with vegetables into the blender cup and half of the mentioned amount of butter. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

• Transfer chicken liver mousse into the serving forms of your choice and level it out with a spoon (I like to store pate in the fridge in small glass containers with a lead, for the photos I used pretty bowls).

• Heat butter in the microwave or on the stove until it becomes liquid. Pour it over the pate; make sure to cover the entire surface.

• Place bowls in the fridge before serving for butter to freeze. Sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs before serving. Enjoy!

You can enhance the flavor of your pâté by adding dried berries and fruits. For instance, I recently used dried cranberries, which provide a slight acidity that beautifully complements the taste of the pâté.

To prepare the cranberries, cover them with hot boiled water and let them soak for about 10 minutes until they swell. Afterward, drain the excess water and pat the cranberries dry with paper towels. Then, chop them into the smallest pieces possible. Add the chopped cranberries to the blended liver and vegetables before transferring the mixture into molds or bowls.

I like this recipe because thanks to it, I have a fresh product without any artificial ingredients or preservatives, and I can control the level of saltiness and seasoning. If you have any questions about the recipe, leave them in the comment section below.
