The recipe is for chicken and extravagant food lovers. Try chicken liver pate with thyme and pine nuts. Despite the fact that you will have to spend some time preparing the dish, the appetizer will turn out to be very appetizing and worthy of the table at any celebration.
It is necessary
- - chicken liver;
- - pine nuts;
- - thyme;
- - olive oil;
- - salt;
- - onion;
- - ground black pepper.
Instructions
Step 1
Chicken liver must be rinsed and then left to dry on a paper towel. Heat the olive oil in a skillet and add the liver. Pieces of liver must be fried for 3 minutes on each side.
Step 2
Add peeled and thinly sliced onions to the liver.
Step 3
Then add a few sprigs of thyme to the same skillet. In order for them to be conveniently taken out later, you can pre-tie them together.
Step 4
Add salt and black pepper to taste. Fry chicken liver with thyme and onion over high heat for about 1 minute. Then reduce heat, cover the pan with a lid and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
While the liver is cooking, dry the pine nuts in a skillet. Then transfer to a plate and leave to cool.
Step 6
Is the liver ready? Set the pan aside from the stove and let the contents just warm.
Step 7
Chop the pine nuts with a knife. It should be borne in mind that both very small pieces and rather large pieces of nuts should come across in the pate.
Step 8
Transfer the entire contents of the skillet with the exception of the thyme sprigs to the bowl of a blender or food processor.
Step 9
Beat this mixture until you get the consistency of a smooth paste. If in the end there is not enough liquid, add a little softened butter. Transfer the pate from a blender to a bowl and add the chopped pine nuts and fresh thyme leaves.
Step 10
Stir the whole mass, place in the tins and let cool completely. Tighten the finished pate with cling film or cover with a thin layer of melted butter. Store the dish in the refrigerator.
