Ingredients
½ onion, chopped
1 lb chicken livers, rinsed and dried
1 stick butter
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp allspice
2 Tbsp heavy cream
8 dried figs
2 Tbsp fig preserves
2 Tbsp port
Directions
Sauté onions in 1 Tbsp butter in a skillet over medium high heat until softened. Cool slightly and add to food processor.
Sauté chicken livers in the same skillet over medium high heat in 2 Tbsp butter until no longer pink in the middle. Cool slightly and add to onions in the food processor.
Add 4 Tbsp butter, salt, allspice, cream, figs, preserves, and port to the food processor and blend until smooth. Refrigerate at least 4 hours to cool. Serve with toast points or crackers.
* Pâtè isn’t inherently gorgeous on it’s own, so top it with a sliced dried fig or a dab of fig preserves.
