To further reduce the “liver-ness” taste that some find a turn-off, I poach the trimmed livers in red wine before sautéing with shallots. Discard red wine. The wine removes all hints of the tannins in the livers. I have also used duck fat (when I can find it) to ramp up the richness. And I add coarsely ground black pepper.

The liver taste is the best part!

Thanks for the tips! I'm not big on the livery taste.

@miemie7683 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the tip. I used half and half to get rid of the “liver-ness” but I will try the red wine next time since I have a dozen or so bottles to go through.

Have heard that pouring a thin layer of melted schmaltz (chicken fat) over the liver pate before cooling it will stop the top layer of the liver from discoloring, and the schmaltz adds richness to the servings.

@vaughnblack4857 2 жыл бұрын

The discoloration is oxidation. Any oil(fat) will help to mitigate it. As long as it's fresh and you maintain safe kitchen practices you should be ok though.

Elle is my favorite of all the ATK chefs. I've never looked at boneless pork chops the same after she showed me what's up. If you eat pork and you don't know, it's a must-try recipe. My Brussels sprouts are always a hit at get-togethers. Thanks Elle

If you don't want to buy a bottle of brandy/vermouth just for this, add a teaspoon or so of vinegar or lemon juice during the simmering step. The classic French way is with alcohol, but you're just looking for sweetness and acidity to balance all the fat and rich liver

I've always hated liver but a while back I was served some pork liver pate in a German restaurant. OMG, is was one of the best things I've ever tasted. Rich and savory, but not "livery" at all. I'm anxious to see how this recipe compares.

@jelsner5077 9 ай бұрын

This is my favorite holiday indulgence. I add a little cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and sauted garlic. My recipe calls for a splash of cream and some softened butter at the end. I also found that it can be molded for a fancier presentation. Ive always used frozen chicken livers, but will try to find fresh next time. (The frozen tastes fine to me).

It does not pay to be a chicken, even if you're free range. If they don't get you when you're an egg, you end up in the frying pan or oven, or having your liver removed and made into a nice pate that can be shared with the whole family, with the scraps going to the Family Dog.
