CHICKEN LIVER PATE

Steps:

• Place chicken liver mixture in a blender with dry sherry, cream cheese, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl, cover and chill in the refrigerator approximately 2 hours before serving.

CHICKEN LIVER PATE WITH CURRANTS

• Place remaining 3/4 cup butter, chicken liver mixture, heavy cream, thyme, and allspice in a food processor; blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in currants and orange liqueur. Season pate with salt and pepper.
• Divide pate among small ramekins. Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.

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.

CURRIED CHICKEN LIVER PâTé

• In a 9-inch skillet heat 1 tablespoon butter over moderate heat until foam subsides and cook onion and chicken livers with curry powder, paprika, and salt, stirring, 1 minutes. Cover skillet and cook mixture, stirring occasionally, 8 minutes more, or until livers are just cooked through. Add brandy and cook,stirring, 1 minute.
• Remove skillet from heat and in a food processor purée mixture with remaining 3 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces, until smooth. Transfer pâté to a 3/4-cup ramekin and smooth top. Pâté may be served immediately (texture will be mousse-like) or chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap, at least 2 hours and up to 5 days. Bring pâté to room temperature before serving.

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!

CREAMY CHICKEN LIVER PâTé

Steps:

• In a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder, combine peppercorns, allspice, clove and coriander seeds; grind until fine and set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; when foam subsides, add onion and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add livers to pan and sprinkle with salt; cook livers on one side until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes, then flip them and cook the other side. Be sure to keep heat relatively high so that the outside of livers sears and inside stays pink.
• Put onion, livers and their buttery juices into a food processor or blender with remaining butter, the cream, spices and brandy. Purée mixture until it is smooth; taste and adjust seasoning.
• Put pâté in a terrine or bowl, smooth top and put in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours or until fully set. Serve pâté with bread or crackers.
