Description
Canapés are the ideal appetizer to propose when you have many guests, especially during the holidays. Just some toasted bread slices on which to spread delicious creams, cheeses or cold cuts in unusual combinations and the taste is served: the liver pâté is a perfect recipe in these cases!
Elegant and refined, the pâté immediately sets the holiday table. It is a recipe of French origin, traditionally prepared with goose liver. In the Italian version - widespread especially in the center and north of our country - it is prepared with chicken livers, rabbit or with veal liver.
Preparing liver pâté at home is not difficult at all, but it will certainly amaze your guests: not everyone can offer such a delicacy made with their own hands! Find out here how to make it.
Procedure
1
To prepare the liver pâté first clean the livers: remove the hearts if they are still attached, remove the excess fat, the bile sacs, wash them and then dry them with kitchen paper.
2
Chop the onions and let them stew over very low heat with 150 g of butter and a bay leaf. When they are soft, also add the livers and the grated lemon zest.
3
Turn up the heat and briefly brown before deglazing with the two liquors. Then continue cooking over low heat until all the alcohol has evaporated. Adjust with salt and pepper, remove the bay leaf and transfer the mixture to a bowl letting it cool completely.
4
Melt the remaining butter and let it cool slightly before adding it to the livers. Now blend everything until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream.
5
At this point transfer the liver pâté to a serving bowl or spread it on slices of toasted bread and serve it.

Suggestions
To complete the appetizer, you can serve the liver pâté together with the ham pâté, with a more delicate flavor, or the crudité of vegetables with the pinzimonio or the yogurt sauce. They will serve to "clean the mouth" and give an extra touch of crunchiness while waiting for the main courses.
