Description
Pate' di fegato. In Italy liver pate is prepared most often from veal, pork or chicken liver, simply because duck liver appeared in Italy, in General, recently, and, accordingly, is not available. I'm just more fond of dishes from chicken liver. You are welcome to the tasting.

Cooking
Chop and fry the onion in a saucepan with 150 grams of butter + a little olive oil.
Rinse chicken livers, remove excess fat and bile, then cut into small pieces and add to the onions, fry for a few minutes, add the wine, cognac, to soften the taste, let the alcohol evaporated.
Put the mixture in a blender, chop and add the remaining melted butter. Now we will need two forms: one slightly larger than the other. In the smaller form, covered with cling film, put pashtetnoyi mass.
Close the top with foil and put in refrigerator for 2 hours.
Dissolve gelatin in 1 liter of salted water, add the brandy (to taste - because it is my personal invention). The original recipe brandy - only pate. And pour half of gelatin mixture into a large form and put it in the fridge for 2 hours to solidify.
Then in great form with a frozen jelly gently lay the lumber pate from lesser forms or just to cover a smaller form and a large turn over. And pour the remaining jelly. To put again to harden for a couple of hours (or according to the instructions gelatin) in the fridge.
In order to get the pate out of shape, you need a couple of seconds to dip the bottom in warm water and do not overdo, otherwise it will float to the bottom layer. Here is my pate. Suggest: we have to work quickly. If jelly is not very dense, it melts from the bottom, pate swings and disturbed stationary form.
Decorate with rosettes of whipped or newsbite butter using a pastry syringe. It's better to do it on the pate, and separately, otherwise the pressure when they move out. And then on top of oil to put capers or any olives, spectacular - black.
Add promised the second option in another form. By the way, learned how to cut jelly - a common thread, and he plows trim dampened with a knife. This variant is now definitely good on the holiday table.
