Pâté

Flavourful, comforting!

Pâté

Ingredients:

2 small onions
4 oz mushrooms
¼ lb butter
½ lb chicken livers
fresh tarragon
salt and pepper
¼ cup sherry

Instructions:

Mince the onions and mushrooms as finely as possible. Sautée gently in butter over low heat until soft. Turn up the heat just a bit, and toss in the chicken livers and minced tarragon to taste, tossing until the livers look just cooked.

Throw into a blender with the seasonings and sherry, or chop as fine as possible and try to force through a sieve with a wooden spoon, and then beat it all together. Pack into a dish (this recipe fills two individual-size soufflé dishes), and chill several hours before serving.

If you want to make it nice, top with whole tarragon leaves and a thin layer of clarified butter.
