Burt Reynolds’ Chicken Liver Pate

Burt Reynolds, ladies’ man and friend of the Clipper

 

 
The best thing about this recipe is that people don’t expect to like it, but then they can’t get enough.  Serve this with toast rounds or just bread.   It’s good.  Real good.   I used to bring this stuff to Hef’s mansion and he’d grab it from me and disappear with the pate and two bunnies for an hour.  I never asked what he was doing.
 
·              1 lb. Chicken Livers
·              Olive Oil
·              1 Yellow Onion, diced
·              ¾ lb. Cream Cheese
·              Brandy or Whiskey or Wine
·              Parsley
·              Salt and Pepper
 
1.     Sautee the livers in olive oil with the onion.  Overcooking will kill them, but make sure they are cooked through.
2.     Dump it into a food processor and then deglaze the pan with booze and pour that into the mix.
3.     If you don’t have a food processor, you can just chop and smash it up.
4.     Add the cream cheese and salt and pepper.
5.     Top it with oil and parsley.
 
If you don’t put the parsley on it, it looks like poo, which can be cool.
