Smooth chicken liver pâté with cream is a homemade spread with a smooth, airy texture. The trimmed liver is sautéed in butter with sliced onion until no longer pink, then blended until smooth with the remaining butter and heavy whipping cream. The cream mellows the flavor of the liver. Serve the pâté with bread or use it for canapés.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Trim the liver, pat dry with a paper towel, and cut into large pieces.

  2. Slice the onions into half-moons. Melt 50 g butter in a skillet, sauté the onions until translucent, then add the liver.

  3. Sauté the liver with the onions for about 5–7 minutes, until no pink remains.

  4. Transfer the liver to a bowl and blend with an immersion blender into a smooth purée. For the smoothest possible pâté, press it through a fine-mesh sieve.

  5. Cut the room-temperature butter into small pieces and stir it into the still-warm liver. Let cool completely.

  6. Whip the cream to stiff peaks and gently fold it into the liver mixture. Season the pâté with salt and pepper, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until thoroughly chilled.

  7. For canapés, cut rounds from sandwich bread or use rožky, Slovak crescent-shaped bread rolls. Spread with pâté and garnish as desired, for example with cucumber and cherry tomatoes.

Tip: Divide the pâté among bowls and cover the surface with a thin layer of melted butter to keep it from turning gray or drying out in the refrigerator.
