½ Pound Butter

1 Pound Chicken Livers

½ Pound Mushrooms, Thinly sliced

1 Bunch Green Onions, Thinly sliced

6-8 Large Cloves Garlic, Thinly sliced

1 Cup Dry Red or White Wine

1 Teaspoon Salt

½ Teaspoon Rosemary (Two sprigs, fresh)

2-3 Teaspoons Dill Weed

1 Teaspoon Dry Mustard

 

Melt ¼ pound (one cube) of butter.  Add mushrooms, onions and garlic.  Sauté until vegetables are soft, approximately 5 minutes.  Add chicken livers and cook only until edges turn white, then turn.  Add dry wine, salt, rosemary, dill weed and mustard.  Simmer until liquid has been reduced by at least half.  Cut remaining ¼ pound of butter into 8 pieces.  Place one-quarter of chicken liver mixture in food processor or blender with 2 pieces of butter on top and layer similarly, alternating mixture and butter.  Blend to desired consistency.  Refrigerate several hours before serving.

Pate keeps for about 10 days in the refrigerator and can be frozen for up to 3 months.  Excellent served with crackers or bread.
