Ingredients

For the Balsamic onions:

For the Chicken Liver Pate:

Directions

To make the onions: Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and add the onions. Season the onions with salt and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Cover and sweat the onions for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the balsamic and cook for another 20 to 25 minutes or until the balsamic is syrupy. Use right away, or place in airtight jar and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

To make the chicken liver pate: Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and add the anchovies, capers and garlic. Bring to medium heat and saute until the anchovies have dissolved.

Add the chicken livers, turn up the heat and saute for 3 to 5 minutes and cook until the livers are about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way done. Add the wine and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the wine has reduced by half, the mix should still be pretty soupy.

Transfer everything to a food processor and puree until smooth. Season with a little salt, if needed, and loosen with a little olive oil if needed.

Schmear each toast with the pate and top with balsamic onions.

    The ingredients make for a good pate but when placing chicken liver in the food processor you do not need to add the liquid. The liquid makes the pate too loose and soupy. I enjoy a pate that is firm and pasted.

    I love pâté but this is the first time I've made it. I was a little nervous after reading the comments about too much liquid (and even bought some cream cheese as a backup per some other suggestions, but am happy to report to recipe worked perfectly for me just as printed. I think the key is to really reduce the wine to 1/2 in last step... This took me at least as twice as long as suggested but I was making a double batch. Also make sure you purée the heck out of it. Fantastic.
