Dietetic chicken liver pâté: A recipe full of tradition and good taste If you are looking for a healthy and tasty recipe, the dietetic chicken liver pâté is the perfect choice. This traditional recipe has managed to adapt to modern times, being not only delicious but also low in calories, while providing essential nutrients. The pâté is a versatile dish, suitable for both festive meals and a healthy lunch. The history of pâté spans many generations, with deep roots in traditional cuisine. Usually, it is prepared during the Easter holidays, but you don’t have to wait for a special occasion to enjoy it. The dish can be consumed both warm and cold, being ideal for appetizers or snacks. Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 30-40 minutes Total time: 1 hour Number of servings: 8 Ingredients: - 500 g chicken liver (optional, you can also add chicken breast for a finer texture) - 3 bunches of green onions - 2 carrots - 2 eggs + 1 egg for brushing - 1 bunch of green garlic or 4-5 cloves of dried garlic - 1 bunch of dill - 1 bunch of parsley - Salt and pepper to taste - Oil for greasing the pan Preparing the liver: 1. Start by washing the chicken liver well. It is important to clean it of any veins or fat to achieve a delicate and pleasant final result. 2. Boil the liver in a pot of hot water and salt for 20-25 minutes. This will help remove any impurities and make the liver softer. 3. After boiling, drain the liver and let it cool. If you decided to add chicken breast, keep a little of the boiling water, as it can be used later to moisten the mixture. Preparing the vegetables: 4. Finely chop the onion, carrot, and garlic. Sautéing them will add an intense flavor and irresistible aroma to the pâté. 5. In a pan, add a little oil and sauté the vegetables for about 15 minutes. If you notice they are drying out, don’t hesitate to add a little water to keep them juicy. It is essential for the vegetables to remain moist to achieve a fluffy pâté. Combining the ingredients: 6. When the vegetables have cooled, finely chop the liver and place it in a large bowl. Add the sautéed vegetables, chopped dill and parsley, the two egg yolks, salt, and pepper to taste. 7. Mix all the ingredients well. Incorporating the egg whites: 8. Beat the two egg whites until foamy. This is an important trick – the egg whites added to the mixture will make the pâté fluffier. 9. Gently fold the egg whites into the liver mixture to avoid losing the air from the foam. Preparing the pâté: 10. Grease a loaf pan with a little oil. Pour the pâté mixture into the pan, making sure it is evenly distributed. 11. Beat the remaining egg and brush the surface of the pâté to achieve a golden and appetizing crust. Baking: 12. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and place the pan in the oven. Let the pâté bake for 30-40 minutes until it becomes golden and forms a nice crust. Serving: Once the pâté is ready, let it cool slightly before slicing. You can serve it warm, alongside a fresh green salad or pickles, or cold as an appetizer, accompanied by a slice of whole-grain bread. Useful tips: - If you want to add extra flavor, you can add some spices (for example, sweet paprika or herbs de Provence) to the liver mixture. - The pâté can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and is delicious the next day as well. - I recommend serving it with a garlic yogurt sauce for a flavor contrast. Nutritional information: Chicken liver pâté is an excellent source of protein, vitamins (especially vitamin A and B vitamins), and minerals such as iron. Being a dish with reduced calories compared to other types of pâté, it is an ideal option for those who want to enjoy a tasty dish without compromising their diet. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use liver from other birds? Yes, turkey or duck liver can be used, but it will add a different flavor. 2. Can I add other vegetables? Absolutely! Spinach or zucchini are excellent options. 3. How can I make the pâté softer? Make sure to add enough liquid from boiling the liver and don’t forget the beaten egg whites. This dietetic chicken liver pâté will bring you not only joy on your plate but also the satisfaction of preparing a healthy and flavorful dish.
