Duck Liver Pate is a smooth, flavorful spread made by cooking duck livers with onions, garlic and brandy, blending with cream and butter for a creamy texture.
Rinse the duck livers thoroughly under cold running water. Trim off any visible connective tissue or fat using a sharp knife. Pat them completely dry with paper towels and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes soft and translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the duck livers to the skillet. Sear them on each side for 2-3 minutes until they are browned but still slightly pink in the center. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to season.
Carefully pour the brandy into the skillet, ensuring the pan is not overcrowded. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the brandy to simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
Transfer the cooked liver mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of softened butter and the heavy cream. Blend until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if required.
Spoon the blended pate into a serving dish or ramekin. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pate to set.
Before serving, sprinkle the top of the pate with freshly chopped parsley. Pair with crusty bread, crackers or fresh vegetables for dipping. Serve cold or at room temperature.
