  • 1 Clove of Garlic
  • 2 Sprigs of Thyme
  • 6 Eggs
  • 500g Butter

Method

Chop the chicken livers, removing the gall bladders and any sinew.

In a pan heat the shallots, thyme, garlic and red wine and reduce the volume of liquid by half.

In a seperate pan melt the butter until it starts to boil.

Strain the red wine mixture.

Blitz the chicken livers, and add the red wine mixture.

Add the eggs to the liver mixture and continue blitzing.

Add the melted butter and blitz until it is all mixed.

Strain the mixture into a jug.

Double wrap the inside of a loaf tin with cling film.

Wait until the parfait is cool, remove from the tin and then slice and serve with a chutney of your choice.
