Instructions
Step 1
Chicken liver pate
Remove the butter from the refrigerator to soften. Peel the onion and chop into half rings. Rinse the chicken livers and trim away the tough veins. Saute the onion in vegetable oil until transparent over medium heat, add the liver to it and cook for a few minutes, until it turns gray-brown.
Step 2
Reduce the cooking temperature to the minimum, pour cream and alcohol into the pan, add seasonings and salt to taste. Cover the dish with a lid and simmer its contents for 15-20 minutes. Cool the liver fry and beat well with a blender with the butter chunks until smooth. Soak the pate in the refrigerator for several hours, preferably in a glass container.
Step 3
Chicken liver muffins
Boil rice in salted water and hard boiled eggs. Cool everything, chop the second with a knife and mix both products in one bowl. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, remove the husks from the onion and chop it thinly. Fry vegetables in vegetable oil until soft, let cool slightly, transfer to rice mass, salt and mix thoroughly.
Step 4
Prepare the chicken liver and mince it. Stir in the resulting puree with eggs, sour cream, flour and salt. Take a muffin pan. Pour the "dough" into the cells for about a third of their capacity, then carefully put the filling in the very middle of the products, add the liver mass to the very top. Sprinkle grated cheese over hearty pastries and bake at 180oC for 20-25 minutes.
Step 5
Chicken liver puff pastry
Remove the dough from the freezer. Wash the liver and cut into pieces. Chop the onions and carrots and fry for 5-7 minutes in a little vegetable oil along with the liver over medium heat. Rotate everything in a meat grinder or blender, salt and pepper.
Step 6
Roll out the dough, trying to maintain the correct shape of the layer. Cut it into 12 equal rectangles. Spread the filling over them, fold the edges and pinch them with your fingers. Brush liver pies with a beaten egg and bake at 180oC for 15 minutes.
