Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 11

15 tablespoons (1 7/8 sticks) unsalted butter
3/4 pound chicken livers, rinsed and drained
1/2 pound white mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup chopped scallions, white and pale-green parts only (about 3 scallions)
1 tablespoon minced garlic, (2 to 3 cloves)
1 teaspoon paprika
Coarse salt
1/3 cup white wine
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 loaf crusty bread, for serving
Sauteed Maple Syrup Apples

Steps:

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add livers, mushrooms, scallions, garlic, and paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, until livers are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt. Add wine and thyme. Reduce heat to low; cover. Cook until mushrooms are very soft, about 10 minutes. Let mixture cool completely.
Process mixture and remaining 12 tablespoons butter in a food processor until smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Transfer pate to an airtight container or a ramekin; cover with plastic wrap directly on surface. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve with bread and sauteed apples.
