Ingredients

1 lb chicken livers

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened

0.25 cup chopped onion

3 tbsp cooking sherry

0.25 tsp salt

0.25 tsp ground black pepper

0.125 tsp ground mace

Directions

Prepare all ingredients.

In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken livers and sliced onion. Add about 3 cups water and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liver is tender, approximately 20 minutes. Check with an instant-read thermometer; it should read at least 74°C (165°F).

Remove from heat and drain. Discard the sliced onion and remove any hard portions of the livers.

Transfer cooked livers to a food processor and blend until smooth.

Add softened butter, chopped onion, sherry, salt, pepper, and mace. Pulse until well combined.

Shape the mixture into a mound using lightly greased hands. Place it onto a serving platter, then cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour before serving.
