Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Canapes, Starter, Supper

Time 45m

Yield Serves 6 as a starter or light lunch

Number Of Ingredients 10

600g duck or chicken liver , or a mix of both
250g pack butter , diced and slightly softened
2 shallots , finely sliced
1 garlic clove , sliced
splash each brandy or port
1 tbsp tomato purée
100g butter
1 tbsp thyme leaves
1 tsp black peppercorn
toast, gherkin and chutney, to serve

Steps:

  • Cut away and discard any large sinews from the livers, then set the livers aside. Heat about a third of the butter in a large frying pan, then gently fry the shallots and garlic for 3-4 mins unti l soft. Turn up the heat, add the livers, then fry until just browned on all sides. Add the brandy and port, boil down as quickly as possible - if the sauce catches light for an instant, then all the better. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool completely.
  • Season the livers generously, then tip the contents of the pan into a food processor with the tomato purée and remaining butter, and blitz until smooth. Push the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, taste for seasoning, then tip into a serving dish, banging the dish down on the tabletop to smooth out the surface. Place in the fridge to set.
  • Once the mixture has set, make the topping. Gently melt the butter in a small pan or in a bowl in the microwave, then leave for a min to settle and separate. Pour the yellow butter that has risen to the top into another bowl and discard the milky liquid. Leave the yellow butter to cool slightly, then mix in the thyme and peppercorns. Pour the mixture over the parfait and leave to set in the fridge. Serve with plenty of toast, sliced gherkins and chutney. Will keep for 2 days in the fridge.

Provided by Michelle Minnaar

Categories     Starter

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1kg (2lbs) duck livers, washed
500ml (2 cups) milk
15ml (1 tbsp) butter
15ml (1 tbsp) oil
3 shallots, peeled and sliced
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 thyme sprigs, washed
125ml (½ cup) port
125ml (½ cup) brandy
8 eggs
800g (1¾lbs) butter, melted and warmed

Steps:

  • Two days before serving cut away and discard any large sinews from the duck livers.
  • Soak the livers in milk, 500ml (2 cups) of water and 10ml (2 tsp) salt, overnight. This will help to reduce any bitterness.
  • The day before serving, start making the parfait. Rinse the livers, pat dry and set aside.
  • Gently fry the shallots and garlic in oil and butter until softened.
  • Add the thyme then pour in the port and brandy.
  • Bring the contents to a boil until the liquid has been reduced by a third.
  • Lower the temperature to a minimum setting and add the livers, stirring them until they have browned, which should take around 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Preheat the oven to 130°C/27°0F/gas mark ½.
  • Remove the thyme sprigs and place the rest of the contents in a blender. Process until smooth.
  • While the processor is running, add one cracked egg into the mix every 30 seconds. This should take around 4 minutes and the mixture should be silky smooth.
  • Pour the melted butter very slowly while the motor is running.
  • Season to taste.
  • Sieve the mixture to ensure the parfait is perfectly smooth.
  • You can either use 24 ramekins or 2 large terrine tins. Whatever you decide, pour the parfait into the dishes and place them in deep baking trays. Cover all of them with greaseproof paper.
  • Fill the baking trays with water up to two-thirds of the height of the dishes.
  • Place the trays in the oven and cook for 40 minutes. You need a thermometer to test whether the parfait has reached an internal temperature of 65°C/150°F. If not, cook for a few minutes longer and keep checking until the desired temperature has been reached.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 30 minutes.
  • You now have a choice to freeze it for later use, or you can place it in the fridge overnight to firm up.
  • If you choose the latter, you can remove the greaseproof paper and spread softened butter on top of each dish to help retain its moisture and prevents oxidation.
  • Serve the next day with amaretto cherries or persimmon chutney.
