There are times when you feel peckish but do not want a big meal; you want something that is savoury and satisfying. Having certain little treats on hand is always a good idea to take care of moments just like those. This is where things like a variety of cheese, fruity chutneys, cured meats, and spreads like pâté come in handy.
While liver pâté can be made with any type of liver, I prefer to make it with chicken livers because I find them much tenderer and naturally creamy. There are many recipes with long lists of ingredients with things like boiled eggs and bacon, liquids such as brandy, bourbon and cognac. I like to keep it simple – fresh chicken livers, onions, garlic, thyme, butter, and a little oil. Salt and freshly ground black pepper too.
