We all know that beef liver is very healthy. A properly prepared dish from fresh liver can provide our body with a full daily intake of many vitamins and minerals, which is why the liver is so beneficial for young children, pregnant women and people prone to atherosclerosis and diabetes.
The liver also produces a special substance - heparin, which is used in medicine to normalize blood clotting in patients. So the liver is also useful for the prevention of such a dangerous disease as thrombosis.

In addition, it is much easier to persuade a child to eat a sandwich with delicious liver pate rather than a piece of stewed liver. It is very convenient to have a snack in the middle of a working day with such a sandwich!

Homemade chicken liver pate in a blender. I liked it very much: it is possible for sandwiches, and for a feast it is excellent as a snack, and you can put it in a refrigerator in a container and use it for several days. The recipe for such a pate is very simple, does not require much effort and time.
Prepare the liver: if necessary, defrost, then cut off the veins, bile ducts, etc. Rinse and drain. Someone soaks chicken liver in milk for two hours to remove bitterness, but experience shows that it is chicken liver that is not bitter anyway.
Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Not necessarily "jewelry", since then the whole mixture will be ground into a single mass. Heat vegetable oil in a pan, fry the onion until light golden brown over medium heat, stirring occasionally (on average, fry for about 10 minutes).
Peel the carrots, cut into rings (or as you like, finely or grated) and add to the onion, stir and fry for a couple of minutes. After that, add the liver, bay leaf and a glass of water (enough water is needed so that it practically covers the liver with onions and carrots). Season with salt (half a teaspoon of salt), bring to a boil, reduce heat.
Then simmer covered over low heat for about 30 minutes until all ingredients are cooked. Open the lid, evaporate the excess liquid for 5-10 minutes (not completely, leave a little, it will go away during cooling, and the rest will make the chicken homemade pate more tender). During these 5-10 minutes of evaporation, the water should be first sprinkled with cinnamon (a pinch) and then nutmeg (slightly less than cinnamon) before turning off the heat. Turn off, hold for a few minutes under the lid, then open the lid and cool.
When the liver with onions and carrots have cooled, add a piece of butter (about 100 grams) and beat in a blender (the mass is soft enough, so choose the attachment according to the instructions of your blender). If the flask is small, then you can beat in two batches, then mix them thoroughly. Chicken pate is ready!
Chicken liver pate can be refrigerated for a short time before use. Serve with a sprig of herbs. Since the taste is very delicate, it is better to use bread with a neutral taste.

Then add the grated carrots. After the carrots have been added to the onion, mix the vegetables and, covering the pan with a lid, we will simmer until the carrots are fully cooked, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes. The frying should be tender and not overcooked.
The final stage. Drain the liver, add tender frying, lightly pepper and salt.

Delicate homemade chicken liver pate is ready! Bon Appetit!
I bring to your attention a recipe for chicken liver pate, which has many advantages - it is economical, tasty, satisfying and important to prepare such a pate quickly and easily. The butter should be at room temperature, in no case should it be heated, otherwise the ready-made pate will not look very attractive and this will also spoil the taste of the pate.
Rinse the chicken liver under running water, dry, cut off everything that is inedible, cut into 2-3 pieces.
Peel the onion, cut into half rings or a quarter of a ring. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the onion lightly. Salt and pepper the onion, so the onion becomes more aromatic and tasty.
Peel the carrots and cut into small cubes, add to the pan to the onion.
Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the carrots over low heat, for 5 minutes, do not forget to stir.
Then transfer the liver and fry the liver over high heat with constant stirring.
The liver should change color. When roasted quickly, the liver remains juicy and tender.
Pour 100-150 ml of hot water into a frying pan, add finely chopped hot peppers, bay leaves and simmer under a lid on the lowest heat for 20-25 minutes. Try the liver and carrots for readiness, they should be soft. And also adjust to your taste for salt and pungency. If the liver is already soft and there is still a lot of water in the pan, then remove the lid to allow the excess water to boil away.
Cool the mixture slightly, remove the bay leaf. Beat with a blender or in a food processor, in extreme cases, scroll 2 times through a meat grinder, use the smallest grate.
Add soft butter, beat again with a blender.
The pate is ready, transfer it to a container with a tight-fitting lid or a glass jar. Keep refrigerated.
Chicken liver pate, perfectly spread on toast.
I present to you the simplest chicken liver pate, but in the original version. More precisely, an unusual presentation. The recipe for this cold appetizer is quite simple, although there are some nuances, as well as subtleties in the preparation of liver pate. As a result, you will get not only a tasty and satisfying, but also a presentable dish that will decorate even a festive table.
First of all, you need to process the chicken liver. To do this, rinse it under cold running water, then dry it with a paper towel or napkins. Cut the liver into 2-3 pieces and cut off the white veins. You need to fry the liver in a deep wide frying pan in hot oil. 800 grams of liver is quite a lot, so I fried in 2 doses. Do not put a lot of pieces at once, since then it will not be fried, but stewed. Fry the chicken liver on both sides until golden brown. This will take no more than 5 minutes. As soon as the red juice no longer oozes from the middle when pierced, the liver is ready. Do not dry it out.
Then pour cognac and light it. It was difficult for me to capture the flambing process as it only lasts a few seconds. Our goal is to evaporate alcohol so that only the aroma of cognac remains. Remove the finished liver from the pan and transfer it to another dish to cool.
In the same oil where we fried the liver, put onions peeled and cut into medium pieces. We fry it over a low-medium heat.
Then put the carrots chopped on a coarse grater. You can just chop it finely enough with a knife - we still need to puree it later.
Cook covered until vegetables are tender. At the end, add a pinch of ground nutmeg - with it, the finished chicken liver pate will acquire very pleasant aromatic notes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the onions and carrots cool.
When all the ingredients have cooled, they will need to be turned into pate. You can use a hand blender, but I like it better in a food processor (attachment - Metal knife). In addition, you can even scroll through a meat grinder twice. First, we break through the chicken liver, as it takes up quite a lot of space.
Then add the fried vegetables. The vegetable oil that remains after cooking can be poured or added to the pate - as you like. Grind everything again, while adding salt and ground black pepper to taste.
And finally, put in soft butter (100 grams), which you need to get out of the refrigerator in advance. Leave the remaining 20 grams for decorating the pate.
Once again, we will punch everything so that the mass becomes smooth and homogeneous - this is a paste, after all. In fact, everything is ready, but I want to show you how you can beautifully serve chicken pate in the shape of a tree (or rather hemp). Since at this stage it still does not hold its shape well, the pate must be prepared, that is, it must be thoroughly cooled.
To do this, we transfer most of the pate to a piece of cling film and roll it up, giving it the shape of a cylinder. This will be the trunk of a felled tree. We send the pate in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Now let's make a stump. To do this, we select a suitable flat dish (so that the barrel also fits later) and with the help of a forming ring we make just such a blank. If you have such a ring (I just got it myself), use a 1.5 liter plastic bottle cut on both sides. Such a thing has served me for many years.
Let's add a couple of knots to it too. Then, with a fork, make irregularities like the bark of a tree. It is very easy.
And finally, the rings of the tree, for which we left those 20 grams of soft butter. We just use a knife to apply it to the improvised cuts of a tree, and then draw a spiral with a toothpick or wooden skewer. And a little highlight is the ax, with which, in fact, we cut down our pate tree. It is cut from raw carrots. Just cut the carrots lengthwise to get an even plate - about 3-5 millimeters thick. And there with a knife, cut out a hatchet, as fantasy allows.
Let's liven up our picture a little with fresh herbs - sprigs of parsley will be very useful.
And now it's time to surprise your family or guests at the table with our unusual and effective-looking, at the same time very easy-to-prepare chicken liver pate. Try it too, everything will work out!
One of our favorite breakfasts in cold and chilly weather is warm toast with delicate chicken liver pate and sweet hot tea. The butter melts on hot bread, soaking the toast, making the liver pate even tastier. Such a pate is prepared very simply and quickly, if there is no blender at hand, pass the chicken liver with garlic a couple of times through a meat grinder without oil, and only then add it, it will turn out no worse. You can store pâté with chicken liver for about a week in the refrigerator, covering it with a lid or parchment paper from airing.
Melt half the butter in a large skillet. Wash the liver, cut into large pieces, dry a little so that the oil does not splash, and put in the pan.
Fry the liver until crispy on one side and then turn over. Fry until crusty on the other side. The liver inside should turn pink, and the blood should stop coming out.
Remove the cooked liver from the pan. Peel the garlic, cut in half and core. Put the garlic in the liver oil, reduce the heat slightly, and fry the garlic until soft. While frying the garlic, turn it over so it does not burn, and press it a little with a spatula, then you will feel when it becomes soft.
Fold the fried chicken liver and garlic into a blender, pour in the oil in which everything was fried, salt (about half a teaspoon without a slide). Grind everything until smooth.
Transfer the chicken liver pâté to a tin or jar, tamp well and smooth the surface.
Melt the remaining butter over low heat.
Carefully pour the oil onto the liver pate so that no protein sediment gets into it.

After ten minutes, add chopped onions to the carrots. Fry until soft.

GENTLE PATE
Today I want to offer you a recipe for the most delicate liver pâté, which even a novice housewife can cook in just thirty minutes. This pate can be made from any liver, but the most delicate and delicious is still obtained from chicken.
Buy 300 grams of liver. With beef and pork, remove the films and cut it into small pieces, and leave the chicken whole and, if you want, soak it in water or milk for half an hour, the liver will only benefit from this. It is better not to boil or fry the liver for the pate, but simmer over medium heat in a frying pan in vegetable oil and without adding water. From fried liver, the pate turns out to be coarse, and if you cook it, then something incredibly tasty leaves from it. While the liver is stewing, add to it a bay leaf, 5-6 cloves, black or red ground pepper and a head of chopped onions, and if you want, you can fry the onions separately - this will make the pate even tastier. Do not spare pepper or any aromatic spices, at the end of this concoction you can even add dry dill. By the way, dry or fresh mushrooms, or even store-bought mushrooms, will not interfere, but quite a bit. Simmer them along with the liver. You need to salt the liver either at the very end of stewing or the ready-made pate itself. Chicken liver is stewed for about 15 minutes, beef and pork - 20-25, and always under a lid so that the liver does not darken, does not dry out and retain all the aromas. You need to cool it for 5-10 minutes, also without removing the lid. Then the liver, along with the onions, must be passed through a meat grinder, having previously thrown out of it all the cloves and bay leaves that you put in for flavor.
Chicken liver must be scrolled once, well, if you want, then twice, and beef and pork must be scrolled 2-3 times. Some cookbooks advise wiping the pate through a sieve. You get tired of wiping, wipe off your hands and a spoon on this sieve, you yourself get dirty in the paste, and the result will be the same. After all, you are not preparing baby food.
Let this liver mass cool a little more, again under the lid. And then pour in 2-4 tablespoons of milk or cream and add 150 grams of butter, and if not a pity, then more, the pate will only benefit from this. Always stir the pate only with a wooden spoon; a metal spoon gives off an unpleasant taste. That's basically it.
It is better to store such homemade pate in the refrigerator in glass or ceramic dishes for no more than 3-4 days, but I think your husband will eat it earlier.
Added to taste: cheese, mushrooms, herbs.
I did it without additives (no mushrooms, no cheese), but I put the eggs, I don't remember how many ... I liked it, but I want it to be even softer! More oil, maybe? or break more with a blender?
