Chicken liver pâté with pears and truffles

Ingredients:

  • 3 kg chicken liver
  • 1 kg butter
  • 500 g truffle paste
  • 2 large onions
  • 1 garlic
  • 400 g dried pears
  • 500 g bacon
  • salt, pepper
  • 200 ml honey with truffles
  • 200 ml cognac
  • 300 ml truffle-flavoured olive oil

Preparation

Place the chicken liver, chopped onion, peeled garlic, dried pears, butter, and bacon into a baking pan. Cover the baking pan with aluminium foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 200°C. Then, uncover the baking pan and bake for another 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

When it is baked, add the truffle paste, truffle-flavoured olive oil, salt, pepper, honey, and cognac to the baking pan and stir. Mix everything in a food processor and pour through a strainer. Brush a mould with a thin layer of butter and fill it with the pâté; wait for it to cool. Serve with a fresh pear, drizzle with honey with truffles, and freshen up with leaves of young lettuce.
