I prepared a classic beef liver pate. The recipe attracted me with its simplicity and ease. I took chicken liver, boiled it with bay leaf and peppercorns. This makes it aromatic and tasty. I ground everything in a stationary blender. The mass was quite thick, so I added two tablespoons of the broth in which the liver was cooked. This turned out to be not enough and I added the same amount. At first it seemed that it would be a bit runny, but when the pate stood in the refrigerator it stabilized. The result was a very tender, tasty pate. Even the son of the leader appreciated him. The recipe is excellent, I recommend it to everyone!
