Champagne Pâté

When you think about the number of blogs folding within their first year, it is lovely to celebrate a 4th birthday; that of "what's for lunch Honey?" and in true Meeta's style she is having a Mingle and a glass of Champagne.
I did not have to think very long to find what I would bring to the party, Meeta said she wanted Champagne in the recipe and so she should have this absolutely, mouth water, smooth, delicious and sadly very fattening recipe, a very special Champagne Pâté .

So Meeta here is to your blog : Happy Birthday

Ingredients
25g Butter
500g chicken livers, trimmed of fat and sinew
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
150 ml carton double cream
125 ml champagne or sparkling wine
1 teaspoon light brown sugar



Method
Melt the butter in a frying pan and cook the livers and garlic over a fairly high heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the livers are browned and caramelised on the outside but slightly pink on the centre. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Whizz the chicken livers and all it's buttery juices to a paste in a food processor. With the motor running, pour in the cream, followed by the champagne until well blended and completely smooth.
Season with the sugar, 1 tsp salt and plenty of ground black pepper.
Pour into a bowl, cover with cling film and chill overnight.

My FIL loves chicken liver and paté. I might just make him this. Didn't know it was that simple to make. :)

Get some fresh liver from the butcher, I did mine with sparkling wine could not resolve to pour Champagne in the foodprocessor. Honestly this is probably the best chicken paté I ever had. Go for it.

Solange this is incredible! I love paté and can think of nothing more romantic then sitting with the loved one, warm bread and some of this paté and of course a glass of champagne.
thanks for sharing it for the mingle!

Hi Send Champagne,

Go for it, it is delicious, shared is better and of course less calories:) but when you think about it even vegetable pates are fatty and this is so much nicer.
