Chicken liver paté a la Mo/M&S

My mum (Maureen) makes this chicken liver paté recipe every Christmas, and every Christmas we search through all her cookery books and find at least 2 other paté recipes before we find the right one.

It’s from one of her M&S cookery books from the 70s. These books were brilliant – sadly M&S don’t make cookery books any more.

The amount below is the quantity given in the book, but since it freezes so well we normally make double.

Chicken liver paté ingredients

• 75g butter
• 1 medium onion
• 225g chicken livers
• 1 clove garlic
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 teaspoons brandy
• Salt and pepper

There's no photo to accompany this recipe at the moment as I haven't actually made it yet this year, but have posted the recipe early at Kerry's request. Maybe you could send in a photo Kerry when you've made it?
