Gluten-Free JOC Appetizer - Chicken Liver Pâté

Ingredients:

1 pound chicken livers, cleaned and trimmed
1/2 cup gluten-free unsalted butter
1/2 cup gluten-free shallots, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons gluten-free brandy or cognac (optional)
Salt and gluten-free black pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon gluten-free dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon gluten-free dried rosemary
Gluten-free crackers or toasted gluten-free bread for serving

Instructions:

In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the gluten-free unsalted butter over medium-high heat.

Add the cleaned and trimmed chicken livers to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside.

Remove the chicken livers from the skillet and set them aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining gluten-free unsalted butter and melt it over medium heat.

Add the finely chopped gluten-free shallots and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the shallots become translucent.

Pour in the gluten-free brandy or cognac (if using) and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.

Return the cooked chicken livers to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the livers are cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.

Season with salt, gluten-free black pepper, gluten-free dried thyme, and gluten-free dried rosemary. Stir to combine.

Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.

Spoon the gluten-free Chicken Liver Pâté into small serving dishes or ramekins.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Serve with gluten-free crackers or toasted gluten-free bread.

This gluten-free Chicken Liver Pâté is a classic and elegant appetizer option. Enjoy!
