Ingredients

• Baguette - 1 small (about 200g)
• Chicken livers - 250g
• Butter - 50g
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• White wine - 50ml
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
2. Slice the baguette into 1 cm thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
3. Drizzle the bread slices with olive oil and toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
4. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the chopped onion.
5. Sauté the onion until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
6. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
7. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken livers to the skillet.
8. Cook the livers for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink on the inside.
9. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until mostly evaporated, about 3-4 minutes.
10. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
11. Transfer the liver mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth.
12. Spread the chicken liver pâté generously onto the toasted baguette slices and serve immediately.
