 I love this stuff on whole grain crackers or apple slices...This is an autumn and winter favourite here in my home. This isn't my recipe, but very close. I cook by feel and seldom write my recipes down, so here is a close likeness YUM!...I like to add fresh cracked pepper to mine, but experiment with the seasonings to taste
Handmade Chicken Liver Mousse
Ingredients
1 lb. Chicken livers, cleaned and dried
1/2 lb Butter
1 Tablespoon fresh sage, minced(or 1 tsp.dried)
1/4 cup Cognac
1/2 large onion or 1 small, diced
1 small tart apple, peeled and diced
2/3 cup heavy cream
Sea Salt
Instructions
Heat 4 oz. of the butter in a sauté pan, add chicken livers and sage and cook until the livers change color and are heated through—do not overcook. Add cognac and flame, shaking pan until the flames die down. Remove from the pan and put in a bowl to cool.
Add another 4 oz. of butter to the pan and very gently sauté onion and apple until very tender—again do not brown. Add to chicken livers and cool.
Put the liver, onion and apple mixture in a food processor with the cream and process until very smooth. Taste and add sea salt as necessary. Pack the mixture into a serving bowl or bowls, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. (I lightly browned some finely chopped almonds in butter to top. I will leave that as an option to you.) It should be allowed to mellow for a day and will keep for a week or so. Serve the mousse with crackers or such.
