Chicken Liver Pate

I could eat this by the spoonful, however it’s best served with little toast points, or the small packages of party rye or pumpernickel bread.

Ingredients:

One pound chicken livers

3/4 Cup softened, unsalted butter

3 Tablespoons grated onion

3 Tablespoons Cognac

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

dash of cayenne pepper

3 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice

2 teaspoons salt

1/8 tsp ground clove

freshly ground pepper to taste

*** Finely minced fresh parsley, lemon wedges, and finely chopped onion  to be used after the liver is unmolded.

Precedure:

Simmer chicken livers for about 20 minutes in boiling water and drain.

Cut the membranes of each out and toss.

Puree in food processor. Remove to a bowl.

Mix the liver with the other ingredients

Correct seasonings

Pack into a plastic wrapped  mold and chill.

When ready to serve, unmold onto a dish, remove the plastic wrap, and pat the minced parsley around and over it.

Serve with the breads, lemon wedges and chopped onion.
