Reeaalllly morish! The cooking time of 5 minutes is the time it takes to gently fry the chopped onion and chicken livers."

  1. I've been making Pate for years and when I saw this recipe I had to try it. The 1/2 apricot brandy I took to mean 1/2 tablespoon, I mean it couldn't mean 1/2 cup of brandy. I would have had to finish that off myself. I'm just teasing. What a wonderful complex tasting pate for such a easy one to prepare. Thanks for this. Paolo
     
  2. Yummm ... it's quick, it's easy and it's good. We used 2 tablespoons of brandy. The pate was a huge hit with our guests.
     
  3. Hello Karin, what a nice "new" way of cooking chicken livers! The apricot brandy was wonderful! I used Herbs de Provence and it was enjoyed by all. Thank you for posting such an interesting take on chicken livers, this is definitely a keeper, Diane :=)I served it on toast points, yum!

I live in New Zealand, I'm married and my husband and I have no children....but we do have a dog (Bruno the Poodle), and a cat (Gus the Birman)! Back in November 2000, I resigned from a 17yr career with Air New Zealand as a Purser. I am now working as a Private Investigator with my husband - having his own Investigation Company. The work is varied and at times very rewarding as I'm sure you can imagine! I have an absolute passion for shoes...what woman doesn't??!!!, and fashion generally, including that of Home Interiors and furnishings, and gardens. I enjoy, among many past-times, art, gardening, water ski-ing, power walking, and ofcourse...COOKING!!(and entertaining). I guess my pet peeve would be running late for an appointment somewhere! 10 minutes early = 10 minutes late with me!! So, ON time is VERY late!!! If I had a month off - no work, and no responsibilities I would buy 2 return airfares to Honolulu!! And spend 2 weeks on Waikiki Beach with my husband and 2 weeks at home in the kitchen!! And entertaining friends and family.
