How to make chicken pate at home. Chicken stomach pate

Almost every European country has its own version of chicken pate. Maria Sorokina gives a master class on cooking a simple chicken pâté, which can be made at home without any problems - for a holiday or just for a big family dinner.

From chicken liver they especially liked to be served in French bistros - for an appetizer before lunch or dinner with white toast and jam. Over the decades, French chefs have worked heartily to create many of the most difficult to prepare versions of chicken pate, including baked in a water bath, wrapped in dough, etc. Some of them are very good. But my favorite is the simple one, which can be cooked in half an hour. The main thing is to follow a few simple rules.

Toast with pate and jam

Chicken liver for chicken pate

The liver can be taken both fresh and frozen - and thawed when room temperature... Some people prefer to soak it in milk or salt water, but if the liver good quality, this is completely optional. Liver from Petelinka is best suited for cooking - the pate will turn out to be very tender and tasty from it. It is also not necessary to remove the films - in the finished ( already shredded) in the pate, they are not felt either in texture or in taste.

Much more important is how you cook the liver. It seems that it does not matter at all how to subject it to heat treatment, if then it is still sent to the combine, but this is not at all the case.

The consistency of the finished liver should be just that: juicy, creamy and pink inside

To make the chicken liver really tasty, it must be fried. And on a very hot skillet, in one layer and lightning fast. Then the outside will have a toasted crust, but inside it will remain juicy, creamy and pink.

If the pan is underheated, there is too much liver on it, or you have kept it on fire longer than necessary, it turns out tasteless, evenly gray and dry. The difference between the first and the second in taste is obvious.

Other ingredients for chicken pate

The onion is worth adding. It gives moisture and sweetness to the pate. Perfect option- shallots, which will also add a slight garlic flavor. Pure garlic for chicken pate is a little rough. But if the shallots could not be found, then you can take the usual ( better red) onions plus a little garlic.

For the same reasons, you can add an apple to the pate - it is combined to taste with chicken liver wonderful. You should not add carrots, she too pulls the blanket over herself. Better to leave it for beef and other meat pates.
You shouldn't be too zealous with spices. Salt and pepper, in principle, are enough. White pepper works better than black pepper. Add fresh thyme if desired.

Onion and apple prepared for making chicken pate

Butter and heavy cream are usually added. They keep their shape better and become smoother, both in texture and in taste. But if, for some reason, you don't want to add fat content, you can do without them. The paste will taste even brighter, but the grains will be more noticeable in it. If you still decide to add butter, then knead it not in hot, but in a slightly cooled pate so that it does not lose its taste.

Alcohol helps to enhance the flavor of the pate. In the case of chicken pate, there is nothing better than sweet wine. Port wine, Madeira, sweet sherry, vinsanto - everything goes well. If there is no sweet wine, cognac works well too.

Today I will show two recipes for chicken liver pate, both with a photo and step by step. The first will be everyday and budgetary, which is quick and easy to prepare at home. The second is more expensive, it takes longer to cook, but the pate turns out to be softer, more airy. Using it, I usually prepare the filling for or volovanov for the festive table.

Chicken liver pate with onions and carrots

It prepares very quickly. True, it also flies away quickly. And by the way, it is useful and, one might say, diet dish even the most ardent lovers of the liver gobble up on both cheeks.

Ingredients:

  • chicken liver - 500g;
  • carrots - 1pc;
  • onion - 1pc;
  • sunflower oil - 2-3 tablespoons;
  • salt to taste;
  • butter- 200gr.

How to make chicken liver pate at home:

  1. Preparation of the liver. Of course, it is best to make the dish chilled, but if yours is frozen, then it must be completely thawed. To do this, we get out of freezer on the eve of cooking, put in a bowl and put in the refrigerator compartment. It will thaw out in such conditions gradually, which is better for her in particular and for meat products generally. The bowl will be needed because water and blood will flow from the liver and need to be drained. For the same purposes, it is also best to put the chilled liver in a colander and support it for about 10 minutes. Then we sort it out, cut off possible fat and the remnants of the bile ducts or pieces with stains of bile, which is bitter, so we do not need it at all. Unlike beef or pork, the film does not need to be removed from the chicken liver, it is thin and will not interfere.
  2. Then we cut it into pieces. Cutting in half is usually sufficient. And for now, set aside.
  3. Peel carrots and onions, rinse with water. Carrots can be grated or cut into pieces. This is not important, as in the end it will all grind, but grated carrots cook faster. Finely chop the onion with a knife.
  4. Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan. Fry vegetables until soft.

  5. Put the liver in a frying pan, stir, fry for 1 minute.
  6. Then pour 1/3 cup boiling water, salt and cook over moderate heat for 7-8 minutes, stirring often. Check the liver for readiness, if the inside is not red, then you can safely turn it off. Usually this time is sufficient. If you cook for longer, the food will become dry and tough.
  7. There are recipes when vegetables and liver are fried separately. I think this is superfluous, since all this will then turn into pate, and cooking together is a great time-saver.
  8. Transfer the contents of the pan to a bowl and let cool slightly.
  9. Then we take everything carefully so that not a piece remains. I use a submersible for this, but a blender with a bowl is also suitable. And you can also skip it through a meat grinder, but then you need to install the grill with the smallest holes, plus twist everything twice.
  10. The butter will give the paste the desired consistency and thickness. You need to add it very soft. So now is the time to get it out of the fridge. As the pate cools, it will soften. You cannot add to warm, let alone hot liver mass! The butter will melt and the snack will turn out to be liquid.
  11. You can mix with a blender, but I'm usually too lazy to wash it a second time, so I take a fork to mix.
  12. We lay out ready mass by capacities. By the way, this may be the usual glass jar... Put it in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours. The main thing is not to start eating right now, not cooled down. Very tasty!
