Discover the Origins of Our Chicken Liver Pate
Our journey into the culinary history of pate reveals a rich blend of culture and tradition. With ingredients like beef, liver, and ham, pate has evolved for centuries. It’s heavily influenced by French cuisine. Our chicken liver pate reflects these cultural culinary traditions, mixing ancient and modern tastes.
Pate origins owe a lot to French chef Jean-Joseph Clause, especially for pâté de foie gras. His innovation helped define French culinary art. Our recipe is inspired by such traditions, especially those from Strasburg, the goose-liver capital.
Our pâté is not only delicious but also nutritious, packed with protein and vitamins. Yet, it’s made with respect to tradition, like the force-feeding of geese to enhance flavors. This melds tradition with ethical culinary progress.
The culinary history of pate holds a special place in our kitchens. It’s a mark of elegance beyond time and class. Our pate, with its hint of raisin sweetness, honors the cultural culinary traditions that crafted pate’s legacy. We invite you to explore this rich and flavorful history with us at pate’s journey.

- 1 food processor
- 1 Oven
- 6 125ml ramekins
- 1 small roasting tin or ovenproof dish
- 1 jug
Ingredients
- 60 g large blonde raisins plus extra for garnishing
- 2-3 tbsp brandy
- 100 ml white wine
- 100 ml port
- 4 shallots finely sliced
- 1 garlic clove finely sliced
- 200 g butter

- 2 medium eggs beaten
- 25 g pistachios or hazelnuts finely sliced, plus extra to garnish
- 50 g melted clarified butter see tips below
- toasted walnut bread

Instructions
- Soak Raisins: Place the raisins in a small bowl, cover with brandy, and let them soak for 1 hour.
- Prepare Reduction: In a small deep saucepan, combine white wine, port, shallots, and garlic. Simmer until the mixture is reduced by two-thirds, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve and let cool.
- Process Livers: In a food processor, puree the chicken livers until smooth. Incorporate the wine reduction, eggs, and slightly cooled melted butter. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble Pâté: Stir nuts into the liver mixture. Drain raisins and distribute them among the ramekins. Over the raisins, pour the liver mixture, leaving space at the top.
- Bake: Set ramekins in a bain-marie setup using a roasting tin. Pour hot water up to two-thirds of the ramekins' height, cover with foil, and bake at 160C for 35-40 minutes. A knife inserted should come out hot and clean.
- Seal and Garnish: Remove from heat, top each with clarified butter, and garnish with raisins and nuts. Let set before cooling.
- Serve: Accompany each ramekin with slices of toasted walnut bread and dressed salad leaves.
