Ingredients

  • 1 lb 450 g chicken liver

  • 16 tbsp 227 g unsalted butter

  • 3 tbsp 3 fish sauce

  • 1/2 tsp 1/2 garlic salt

  • 1/2 tsp 1/2 pepper

  • 1 1 head of garlic

  • 3 3 shallots

  • 2 cups 488 g milk

  • 1 tsp 1 chives

  • 4 tbsp 4 vegetable oil (for chicken liver and crispy garlic chips)

Directions

  • Soak chicken liver in milk for at least 8 hrs in the fridge.
  • Mince half of the garlic head and shallots and sauté on a pan at medium high heat until slightly browned. Drain the chicken liver and sauté in the same pan and season with fish sauce. The chicken liver is done when you cut into the thickest piece and it is a slight pink color.
  • Throw the cooked chicken liver into a food processor and add a few knobs of butter at a time until it’s silky smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper at this step.
  • Slice chives and the other half of the garlic head. Fry garlic slices in a pan of oil until crispy. Top off the pate with chives and crispy garlic slices.
  • Serve with crackers, bread, or crunchy vegetables like bell peppers and cucumbers.
  • Enjoy!
