Welcome to how to make smooth chicken liver pate in one pan.
I will start by saying that I absolutely love chicken liver pate. I mean who doesn’t? The lovely flavours of chicken liver into a smooth pate that you can’t just have one spoonful of.
It is one of those British things that I can never really knock on the head. Plus, when I can go down to Makro (local cash and carry) and get a huge pack of chicken livers for just after 2 euros it is much cheaper to make my own chicken liver pate than to buy in some of the processed stuff.
This chicken liver pate recipe is actually my mums and she made some several years ago and it was so nice that I asked for the recipe.
It has since sat in my homemade recipe ebook for five years and we have made it several times.
Unlike many family recipes that we often end up changing this one always stays the same.
Though when I watch Dominic making it I swear he puts more butter in it than is in the recipe, just because of how nice it tastes but I can’t be sure.
If you are a pate lover and can get your hands on some chicken livers then I highly recommend this recipe.
Though you are likely to eat a lot of bread because when I have one slice of French bread with pate on, I have to have another and another. There is just no stopping me.
Thankfully I don’t have it that often otherwise there would be a lot of weight gain going on.

Can I possibly ask? What is the quantity of Chicken Livers in one pack.? And can I use Electric Hand Blender?
Samantha and Dominic says
Hi Lorna,
The chicken livers come in 800g packs over here. I would not recommend using a hand blender because this can get very thick, unless you have a very powerful one so it would work well with thick foods.
Thanks for your question ?

Oh I have never seen a recipe like this. I love, love, love liver. Not supposed to eat it, but i do because I feel wonderful the next day.
Can’t wait to try yours.
A shot of brandy is also great for cramps. Just a hint for the women. Then eat pate. Yum

Thanks Sandy,
Growing up in England it was the most popular appetizer that you had at dinner parties. Served with warm crusty bread it was always perfect. Its hard to get chicken livers here in Portugal but when I do I follow this recipe, which was passed on to me by my mum and Dominic has modified it a little.
