Directions
Zurie’s Chicken Liver Pat, There are many chicken liver pat recipes, but we each tweak the recipes a little My husband requested a liver pat to eat with my No-Knead Bread A chicken liver pat needs a generous hand with the seasonings, otherwise it can be too bland I find one needs to just discern the taste of the black pepper and get the faintest suggestion of the brandy/cognac and the lime/lemon flavour, subtle enough so you’re not sure it really is in there! Also, the nutmeg: some people do not like nutmeg, but to me it’s an essential spice in the kitchen Use to your taste This pate will firm as it cools It can be thinned down with a little cream, but it’s usually not necessary, and the thick spread is delicious as the flavours develop Will last for a week in the fridge But serve this at room temperature as the flavour is not the same when very cold , Had I known how easy it is to make a pat, I would have done this long ago! This is wonderful I had my doubts early on because it called for a lot of salt, and I’m not a salt person Also, it seemed pretty runny when it came out of the food processor But, I shouldn’t have doubted! This is an amazing pate If you make this (and you SHOULD), be sure to wait until day #2 to eat it – as it definitely improves with time I followed the recipe exactly as written and wouldn’t change a thing Except maybe using a better quality brandy But living in Costa Rica, we take what we can get!!! Made in memory of Gideon Thank you, Zurie – for a wonderful recipe God bless
