I posted this one last year, but I have had several people call me asking for the recipe and so I figured I would post again.

Really good stuff!

Easy and tasty.  I like easy and tasty!  Only 11 steps...

2cups buttah
1lb chicken livers
2 shallots, minced
1/4tsp thyme
salt, pepper
Tabasco sauce
1tsp cognac


1-Melt buttah and add shallots, bay leaf, and thyme and cook until shallots are transparent
2-Add livers and simmer in buttah until livers are cooked (~5mins), stirring constantly
3-Pour mixture into a food processor and puree until smooth
4-Continue to puree and blend in cognac
5-Take a sip of the cognac
6-Blend in Tabasco sauce, salt, and pepper to taste
7-Pour into a glass bowl and allow to come to room temperature, whisking several times
8-Take another sip of cognac
9-Refrigerate
10-Sip more cognac
11-Serve with crackers

Bon Appetit
The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

    Thanks muchly. You had me at "Sip more cognac." As we all know it was Aristotle, I think, who said "All cognac is brandy, but NOT all brandy is cognac." After all that cooking, I'm sure I would need some refreshment, er, refinement... :)

    If you like pate, it's super easy and tasty.  After all, what's not tasty that has so much buttah??

    Just got the call requesting I make this for the party.  Very good if you enjoy a little pate.
