Recipe's preparation

    Child Friendly Chicken Liver Pate

  1.  

    Original 'Pinkfarm' recipe, converted to Thermomix

     

    Place chicken livers in a large bowl, cover with milk and refrigerate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

     

    Place 60g butter in TM bowl and melt at 100 degrees for 1 minute on reverse, speed 2.

     

    Add onion, garlic, bacon & mushrooms, chop for 3 seconds, speed 5.

     

    Sautee for 6 minutes at varoma temperature, reverse speed 1.

     

    Mix in thyme, then add balsamic vinegar and water. Mix together for 10 seconds, speed 3.  Set mixture aside in a bowl.

     

    Place 45g butter in clean TM bowl and melt at 100 degrees for 1 minute on reverse, speed 3.

     

    Whilst butter is melting, drain chicken livers and pat dry with paper towel.

     

    Add cleaned chicken livers to TM bowl & season well with salt & pepper. Chop for 6 seconds, speed 5.

     

    Scrape down sides and cook for 9 minutes at 100C, speed 4.

     

    Add onion, garlic, bacon & mushroom mixture, plus 180g chilled, chopped butter to TM bowl. Puree for 1 minute, speed 9.

     

    Place pate into individual containers (makes about 12 average ramekin sized portions) .

     

    Clean TM bowl and melt 100g butter at varoma temperature for 2 minutes, reverse, speed 4. Let butter cool slightly, then pour a thin film on top of each ramekin to seal. Melt more butter if needed for sealing pate. Decorate each with a thyme sprig.

     

    Keeps in refrigerator for 4 days, or in freezer for up to 3 months.

     

Tip

Gently tap ramekin on tabletop to level out pate before pouring melted butter to seal.

I place all portions in the freezer, and pull out as needed. I tend to keep one in the fridge ready as a nutrient dense snack for the kids.

    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
