Crostini with pate on Tuscan
This recipe I saw in "World Chef," a wonderful chef Ilya Lazerson. This chicken liver pate, prepared according to the recipe from the region of Tuscany - Italy. Served this pate is traditional for that area on toasted slices of white bread. Caught my attention with this recipe, a few things. First paste is prepared with olive oil - without the use of butter. The pate added anchovies (very flavorful little fish), Caprese and white wine. Combined with the taste of sage, these ingredients create a unique bouquet of aromas. Since then, as I tried to prepare the paste for this recipe - I have no other pate recipes do not use. Through the use of olive oil - obychnye fear of people who sit on the diet cholesterol - is eliminated. Olive oil replaces butter (although part of the recipe in a much smaller volume, which reduces the amount of calories) but due to its properties to reduce "bad" cholesterol - makes this dish even useful! :) But other than that - delicious - amazing!
