food the other f word...

Today I opted for chicken liver pate... which I happen to like but only make every few years or so because of refrigeration issues... travel and logistics..

But today was the day.. I took 1.25 lbs of chicken livers an onion, a few garlic cloves.. random spices, a pair of anchovies cooked it all together.... braised the livers.. softened the onions till they were translucent... skinned an de-fatted the livers... then ran it all through a food processor..with a shot of vodka to punish the livers and a little olive oil to smoothe it out......an cause I didnt have chicken stock..or port

There other ways to do it.... you can add bacon, labani, cream cheese, port....mushrooms... pork fat... but. I figure salt, pepper, onion and garlic and an anchovie is pretty good for a start... I put parsley an red pepper on top... later a couple of hard boiled eggs are going to be chopped for a garnish..... the jar is a screw top... which I like cause they fit in in my carry on bag...and don't break.....they work fine for hummis, olive spread, pate and things of that nature...... tahini I carry in the jar from the store... an pack around it...
