This has a tiny hint of something special that nobody seems to be able to identify, along with currents this is a unique pate.
Ingredients
- ½ cup dried currants
- 2 tablespoons brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®)
- 1 cup butter, divided
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 pounds chicken livers, trimmed
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Place currants in a small bowl; cover with orange liqueur. Let soak until plump, about 1 hour.
Step 2
Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot butter until softened, about 1 minute. Add chicken livers; cook and stir until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Divide pate among small ramekins. Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
Cook’s Note:
If you leave out the currants, be sure to still add the orange brandy to the mix.
