Chicken Liver Pate
DESCRIPTION

Chicken Liver Pate is a rich and creamy spread made by sautéing chicken livers with shallots, garlic, capers, thyme, and anchovies. The livers are then blended with butter, brandy, and cream to create a smooth, luxurious texture. This decadent pate has a slightly greasy mouthfeel due to the high fat content of the livers and added butter.

WINE PAIRING

The rich and creamy Chicken Liver Pate, made with sautéed chicken liver, butter, shallots, garlic, capers, thyme, anchovies, brandy, and cream, pairs well with a full-bodied white wine like Marsanne. The wine's rich texture and subtle earthy notes complement the pate's smooth, luxurious mouthfeel and savory flavors. Alternatively, a bold red wine like Petit Verdot, with its firm tannins and dark fruit notes, can stand up to the pate's richness and provide a delightful contrast.
