How To Make party pate
-
1Melt 1 cube of butter in large skillet over low heat. Add mushrooms, onions and garlic. Saute for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly. Push vegetables to the side of the skillet.
-
2Add chicken livers and cook only until edges turn white; turn at once. Add salt, rosemary, dill weed, and mustard; stir thoroughly. Add Chardonnay, stirring again, and cook until liquid is reduced to half.
-
3Cut second stick of butter in fourths. Place butter in blender and add remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth. (Alternate a small amount of butter with a small amount of cooked ingredients and blend.) Continue until all ingredients are blended smoothly.
-
4Refrigerate and let flavors meld 24 hours before serving.

5**NOTE: Wonderful served on slices of french bread together with ice cold champagne as a first course! Also great on tiny slices of party rye bread (my fav), or - as a friend suggested - on Melba toast.
