Easy chicken liver paté with Cognac

Chicken liver pate

As I mentioned in my previous post, I was thrilled recently to find chicken livers in my local supermarket.  Yes, yes, I probably should get out more… but it’s just that I am always looking for them on our weekly grocery shopping trip and virtually never find them.  This is pretty weird – mainly because I grew up in a country where there are tons of frozen chicken livers in every single supermarket (although I guess you could explain their popularity as a cheap source of protein in a developing country).  It’s also weird because the do sell them in other branches of the self-same supermarkets that I look in. Christina says she can get them at Tesco out her way (erm… west London?!) and I used to visit a friend in Wood Green and stock up on them at the local Sainsbury’s.  So maybe you can argue that chicken livers are not a mainstream British food and only sell in areas where the population is suitably diverse?  But for heaven’s sake, I live in E16!  It doesn’t get much more multicultural than my suburb!!  Maybe somebody from Tesco or Sainsbury’s reads this and can explain the lack of livers in my area…

Anyway, as luck would have it, I found my livers in Sainsbury’s and knew immediately that my litle lunch party was going to have chicken liver paté for a starter.  When I was a student I used to make a version of chicken liver paté as my favourite party trick – I thought I was frightfully sophisticated!  The version I used to make was easy and fun but not really what I would these days call a paté.  It was chicken livers fried together with finely diced onion and garlic, chopped and mashed with a tube of liver spread (really!) and a tub of cream cheese.  Plus of course a generous glug of sherry and some black pepper!  It was the perfect snack for a classy student party as the ingredients were cheap plus you usually had some of them on hand (I’m thinking of Sedgwick’s Old Brown Sherry in particular, without which no student party was complete!) and you didn’t need a food processor – the rustic texture was part of the appeal.

But I am no longer a student and I do now own a food processor (well, a Braun wand mixer and attachments!), plus I thought the rest of my lunch menu called for something a little more sophisticated and smooth.  If only I had remembered earlier, I would have used the Heston Blumenthal “posh paté” recipe that I clipped from the Sunday Times magazine, which intriguingly contains about three different types of alcohol.  But as it happened, I only remembered about this later and the recipe I ended up using was the ever-reliable Delia’s recipe for chicken liver and cognac pate.  Clearly, I still retain something of a student mentality – no such thing as cognac in my house, but we did have some brandy, and I reckoned once you’ve smooshed it together with chicken liver, who will ever know the difference??  The recipe says it serves 6, but as a starter it fed five with masses left over for lunch the next day, so I would say the richness means it could probably stretch to a starter for eight with salad and bread.  Mine was served with dark German multigrain bread and my rocket, pear, fennel and pomegranate salad.  The paté itself was smooth and very buttery and the salad’s crisp texture and sweet flavours were a perfect match – definitely a starter to remember.

 

Chicken liver pate

 


CHICKEN LIVER PATE WITH COGNAC
Serves 6+

Ingredients

8 oz (225 g) chicken livers, rinsed and trimmed
2 tablespoons Cognac (or brandy)
8 oz (225 g) butter
2 level teaspoons mustard powder
¼ level teaspoon ground mace
1 level teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus 6 small sprigs to garnish
2 cloves garlic, crushed
salt and freshly milled black pepper

Method

Melt about 25g of the butter in a medium-sized, heavy-based frying pan and fry the chicken livers over a medium heat for about 5 minutes. Keep them on the move, turning them over quite frequently.  Check for doneness by cutting into the largest pieces – you want them pink on the inside but not bloody.  Remove them from the pan using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a blender or food processor.

Melt 150 g of the remaining butter in the same pan and add this to the blender or food processor. Then pour the Cognac on to the juices left in the frying pan, making sure you scrape up all the flavourful bits stuck to the bottom of the pan, and pour that over the livers. Add the mustard, mace, thyme and garlic, season well with salt and freshly milled black pepper, and blend until you have a smooth, velvety purée.

Divide the paté between three large individual or six small ramekins/pots.  Melt the remaining 50g of butter and pour a little over each remakin to seal.  Press a sprig of thyme on top and leave them to get cold before covering with clingfilm and refrigerating until needed.

More deliciousness for you!

    Like you, we have discovered that cognac isn’t absolutely essential in chicken liver pate. At Christmas time, my husband used rye whisky – he reckons that as long as the liquor has seen some oak aging, it should work. And I can’t say that I noticed any difference. The pate was as good as ever.

    P.S. Our local supermarket butcher had beautiful looking chicken livers today. Yay! I can’t WAIT for dinner!

    Hi ~ Before I became a vegetarian I made a chicken liver pate one Sunday afternoon while the family was watching a Sunday movie on TV. All very cozy. We were watching the one about the wildlife researcher who goes to remote Alaska to record how the huge wolf population survived on frozen tundra without any other visible wildlife to eat. Turns out they survived luxuriously on the even more prolific mouse population. I’m going somewhere with this, stick with me!
    I could watch the movie from the kitchen so I got up to make a recipe for chicken liver pate for us to enjoy as a snack during the movie. This was my first time making it and was doing it from memory of a very simple recipe I’d read earlier. The only thing was, I’d neglected to note sufficiently that you must be very careful not to puree the livers for too long or they develop an incredibly gluey and completely disgusting flavor. I was quietly discovering this for myself in the kitchen just as the movie came to the part where the wolf researcher decided to see if he could actually survive on only mice as well as the wolves were doing so we saw him trying out all of these gourmet mouse preparations cooked on his bunsen burner inside the tent. Well, I was just bringing the spoon of over-processed (aiming for unctuous creamyness) chicken livers to my mouth as the guy in the movie tasted his first attempt at mouse stew and it was this incredibly gooey, lumpy (mouse bodies!) brown mass that looked exactly as revolting as my hideous chicken liver pate tasted! I tossed the whole batch after gagging for about 5 mins., my poor parents and sisters wondering WHAT I was up to and eyeing the bowl in the kitchen very warily. I think we ended up with cheese and crackers that afternoon instead and I stopped eating red meat the next summer 😛 ha ha

    Hi Pille
    I can highly recommend the added spices – particularly the fresh thyme! And I have to say, it makes for a very pretty garnish 😉
    Hi Andrew
    Oooooh spooky [cue Twilight Zone music]! I find it quite interesting that there is often synchronicity in the blogosphere – I posted swordfish steaks in the same week as at least two other bloggers, and that’s just one of many coincidences. Lucky you – although it rains in Henley, at least you can get chicken livers easily… 😉
    Hi Elizabeth
    Yup – the type of booze is not mission critical, especially when surrounded with all the other strident flavours. I like your husband’s theory, which would also cover the Old Brown Sherry I used to use as a student, which has spent time in barrels too. The nicest brandy I have had in a while was a Sandeman’s brandy that was matured in port barrels – I think that would be a fab, affordable substitute for cognac. And bon appetit for your chicken-liver dinner!
    Hi Elarael
    LOL!! I have seen the programme about the wolves that you refer to – fascinating! But yes, over-processing the livers is a bad idea and yes, I can see how a mouthful of that plus the mouse-stew image might be a life-changing event :o)
    Hi Ilva
    This pate is a lot of tasty reward for very little work, and if you make smaller remakins and seal each one with butter it lasts in the fridge for quite a few days too, so it’s the gift that keeps on giving 😉 Buon appetito!

    It is weird that you can’t get the livers you want in your area. But then again, I find that the places with the biggest ranges of exciting foods are the rich foodie areas, which doesn’t often mean multicultural. Some of the most exciting stuff I found in supermarkets was from the Morrisons in Pinner in N London – not exactly a multicultural area but definitely well off!
    I totally love chicken liver pate, especially with cognac. I haven’t tried using spices like you have. It sounds great!

    This was a learning experience for me, as I’ve never eaten or made chicken livers. Of course I am a vegetarian, so that could have something to do with it.;) I can still relate to your excitment about the supermarket trips though. It’s all about the simple pleasures….

    In still a student and do not own a food processor; I appreciate the reference to the bastardized pate dish from your student years. I have never seen tubed liver spread in the stores here in the states, but then Ive never looked for it-wish me luck.

    I have wanted to make this for ages. Our local supermarket was selling chicken livers so I thought I would try it for Christmas. Only thing I don’t know is how long it will last refrigerated, and does anyone know if I can freeze it.
    Look forward to hearing from someone soon.

    I also add sauteed onions, a little cream, and omit the mustard.
    What makes me mad though is all the fat stuff that is left on the liver, and usually hidden on the bottom. Plus, some of the light color liver looks like it is disintegrating. I ususally throw that out, since chicken liver is so inexpensive.

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above.

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
