chicken liver pate

Ithaca, NY
Updated on Sep 26, 2010

This recipe is very mild and tastes great on little toasts or crackers. Make it the day before to give it plenty of time to set up and for the flavours to mingle. If you like, you can cover the pate with a thin layer of melted margarine and then put the plastic wrap on it. It keeps up to one week in the fridge and in the freezer for two months!
