For a pretty touch, serve this sinfully smooth party-size spread garnished with thin slices of apple and sprigs of fresh basil. It's also wonderful piped onto Belgian endive leaves.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 3/4 lb chicken livers, trimmed
  • 3 tbsp cognac or brandy
  • 3/4 cup shredded apples
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

Preparation

In skillet, melt half of the butter over medium heat; cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes or until softened and garlic is golden. Add chicken livers; cook for about 5 minutes or until browned but still slightly pink inside. Add cognac; cook for 1 minute or until almost evaporated.

Transfer to food processor. Add apple, basil, salt and pepper; pulse until combined. Add cream cheese and remaining butter; puree until smooth. Spoon into serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled. (Pate can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.)

Additional information : Tip: Use tart apples that hold shape well (any pie apple).
