Ingredients

  • ¾ cup butter, divided
  • 1 pound chicken livers
  • 1 (8 ounce) package mushrooms, chopped
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
  • 2/3 cup Riesling wine
  • ½ teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 pinch dried dill weed

Directions

Step 1
Melt 1/4 cup butter in a skillet. Add chicken livers, mushrooms, green onions, garlic, and salt; cook for 5 minutes. Add Riesling, mustard, rosemary, and dill. Simmer until chicken livers are tender and liquid is mostly absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

Step 2
Transfer mixture to a food processor; blend until almost smooth. Blend in remaining 1/2 cup butter. Add additional salt if needed.

Step 3
Pack pate into a ceramic crock and refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving.

Cook’s Note:

The butter added at the end makes the pate creamier, but can probably be cut down or left out completely.
