Yield 4 to 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces chicken livers, cleaned, rinsed, and patted dry
Salt, pink peppercorns, for seasoning
Grapeseed oil or canola oil, for searing
1 shallot, finely minced
4 sprigs thyme, leaves only
1 teaspoon chopped marjoram
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon cognac
¼ cup heavy cream, warm
¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Steps:

  • Season chicken livers with salt and freshly ground pink peppercorns.
  • Heat a large sauté pan coated with oil over medium heat. Add chicken livers and sear lightly on one side. Immediately add the shallots, thyme and marjoram. Continue to cook together for 2 minutes or so. Flip the livers and sear for an additional 1½ to 2 minutes until the livers are firm and pink in the center. Add lemon zest and cognac, and cook until it is nearly dry.
  • Transfer immediately to a blender, pour in the cream and blend on medium speed, gradually adding the butter. Blend until completely smooth.
  • Pour mixture into ramekins or jars. Cover with plastic wrap, lightly pressing the wrap to the surface of the mousse so that it doesn't oxidize. Chill in the refrigerator until set, roughly 4 to 6 hours. This can be made a day in advance if needed.
