WARM CHOPPED LIVER CROSTINI WITH WHITE TRUFFLE OIL
Chef Nancy Oakes used fresh duck livers from Sonoma County Poultry when she made these elegant crostini during the 1997 Workshop, but chicken livers work, too. She hand-chopped the warm sautéed livers with butter and a lot of sweet sautéed onion, plus just enough earthy truffle oil to make them worthy of a black-tie occasion.
Yield makes 16 crostini

Steps:
- Separate the lobes of the livers and discard any fat or veins. In a colander set over a bowl, toss the livers with 2 tablespoons salt. Let stand for 20 minutes to drain blood. Rinse the livers thoroughly in cold water, then pat dry.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small nonstick skillet over moderately low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and sauté until soft and translucent, about 20 minutes; do not let the onion brown. Transfer the onion to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet and raise the heat to medium. When the oil is hot, add the livers, sage, and several grinds of black pepper. Sauté just until the livers feel firm but not hard, about 4 minutes. They should still be pink inside. Add the livers to the onions and let cool until just warm. Chop the liver and onions together until fine, adding the butter as you chop. Season the mixture to taste with salt, pepper, and truffle oil.
- For the garnish: Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is hot enough to sizzle when you insert the end of a wooden chopstick, add the sage leaves, a few at a time. Be careful: they will pop and splatter. Cook until the leaves become crisp, about 30 seconds. Do not let them color. Transfer them with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain briefly.
- Spread the chopped liver on baguette toasts and top with a fried sage leaf. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy with Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay Reserve or another full-bodied, barrel-fermented white wine.

CROSTINI WITH WHITE TRUFFLES
Steps:
- Spread the bread slices lightly on one side with the butter and arrange them on a tray, buttered side up. Place in a 400-degree oven and bake about 6 minutes, until crusty but not dry. Rub the buttered side of the toast lightly with the garlic cloves.
- Toss the salad greens with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and a dash each of black pepper and salt, and divide the greens among 6 plates. Arrange the toast on top, one slice for each serving. Sprinkle each of the slices with 1 teaspoon of the cheese and a sprinkling of black pepper and salt.
- Using a vegetable peeler or truffle slicer, shave the truffles directly over the toast, coating each piece. Then sprinkle the toast with the remaining olive oil and a dash of black pepper. Serve immediately.
