Chicken Liver Pate
« on: July 19, 2010, 09:18:23 pm »
150ml Thick white sauce(make it with 20g butter - 20g flour - 150 ml of milk a pinch of mustard powder and salt and pepper)
259g chicken liver
15g butter
1 clove garlic pressed
125g finely chopped bacon fat a small bramley peeled cored and sliced
4 anchovy fillets
4oz streaky bacon stretched with the back of a knife
1 bay leaf

Make the white sauce and simmer gently for 2 minutes
Trim the livers and fry it quickly just enough to set it and give it a whizz
Put it in a liquidizer with the rest of the ingredients but not thebay leaf and the stretched bacon use it to line a loaf tin Then pour in the liver mix cover with a greaseproof paper and foil place in a dripping tin half full with water Place in the center of the oven and cook Gas 4 or 180c for a couple of hours.Remove from the oven and place a weight on the top until its cold Turn out on a plate and serve in slices on Melba toastWill keep in the fridge a week or freezer for  a month longer and the garlic tends to become to strong. Its also nice on hot buttered toast

Yes Mick But Sheep and beast liver is a bit strong Try 50/50 chicken and pig. That is a bit stronger flavour.You can also use port sherry or better still brandy. Experiment Mick Try pigs liver and a bit of kidney but you are getting inti the haslet world if you do  :D. A good liver and kidney one works well spread thickly on crusty fresh bread :D Bugger it I'll do some for me tea on a Iceberg leaf on the bread first.then I shall not have to do much when I get back from the D.I.U. Me thinks its gonna be hot saffnoon eh! :D :farmer:
