Chicken liver pâté sounds kind of fancy and scary, but it's actually super cheap and pretty simple to make. There are very easy versions, like this, and this one is slightly more complicated. It has a wonderful flavor and texture and is a real treat. Don't eat this every day or you'll get gout. But for special occasions, definitely whip some up to share with friends - as long as those friends like chicken liver pâté. (It is an acquired taste.) I got the recipe from MarthaStewart.com and it's great.
See, $2.19 for more than enough chicken livers.
Ingredients:
15 tablespoons (1 7/8 sticks) unsalted butter
3/4 pound chicken livers, rinsed and drained
