CHICKEN LIVER PATE WITH BALSAMIC ONIONS

Steps:

• For the onions:
• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, add the onions, and season with salt; bring the pan to medium-high heat. Cover and sweat the onions for 15 to 20 minutes, or until soft and beginning to color.
• Add the balsamic vinegar and cook, uncovered, for another 20 minutes or until it becomes syrupy. Taste and reseason if needed. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the pate:
• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and add the anchovies, capers, and garlic. Bring to medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the anchovies dissolve, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the chicken livers, turn the heat to high, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the wine and cook for 4 to 5 more minutes or until the wine has reduced by half; the mix will still be pretty soupy.
• Transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth. Season with a little salt and loosen with a little olive oil if needed. Schmear each toast with the pate and top with the balsamic onions to serve.
