Combine with the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Form the mixture into nugget shapes and place on a greased baking tray, about 3in apart.
Bake for 20-25 mins, turning halfway through the cooking time.

I tend to make them with frozen mixed veg rather than just broccoli. They do spread out when cooking, I've found that making little balls and cooking in mini-muffin tray works well. Warning, they are really moreish and I'm sure I eat more than she does!"

Chicken Liver Pate

by Aitch on Thu 05 Apr 2007 12:46 BST

To be honest, I don't really do much more than whack some chicken livers into the fying pan with some garlic or shallot or onion (whatever) and then blend it with some microwave melted butter and nice fresh thyme and a splash of Madeira - if it's not for the baby. There are heaps of ways of making it, just make sure you give the chicken livers a nice rinse first and then pat dry before frying. And fry them in butter... what the hell, you only live once.

Here is A Proper Recipe, however. Not sure about rolling it into a log, but this is the way my Jewish chums make it, with boiled eggs.

1lb chicken livers

½ cup butter, softened

2 tablespoons lemon juice

½ teaspoon pepper

½ cup grated onions

1-2 cloves garlic, mashed

4 eggs, hard boiled

2 tablespoons cognac, optional

1 cup chopped fresh parsley, optional

Cook chicken livers in boiling water for about 7-10 minutes; drain well.

Blend chicken livers with all other ingredients, retaining some of the parsley, with hand mixer.

Chill until firm; shape into a log and roll in parsley if desired.

Keep refrigerated until served.

PS. Now do a search on the site for Liver, just to check if you think they are a suitable food. Some say a firm yes, some no, but I personally don't feel Babybear eats enough of this for it to be a problem.
