Chicken Liver Pâté is a simple yet delicious dish often found in Hungarian cuisine. The dish's base is chicken or pork liver, which is puréed with onions, spices, and a bit of fat to achieve a rich, creamy texture. Liver pâté is an ideal spreadable dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner with fresh bread or pastries.
Its preparation is relatively quick, and you can easily make it at home if you want a delicious, homemade dish. Liver pâté is a true classic that everyone enjoys, and some variations can even be found in restaurants.
Soak the chicken livers in milk for about 1 hour to remove any bitter taste.
Heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic until softened.
Add the drained chicken livers, season with salt, pepper, and marjoram. Cook over medium heat until the livers are cooked through but still slightly pink inside, to prevent them from becoming dry.
Let the livers cool slightly, then transfer them to a food processor along with the butter and blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the pâté to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the homemade chicken liver pâté with fresh bread, pastries, or vegetables.
