Liver pâté is a traditional Romanian recipe, full of flavors and textures that will delight your taste buds. A simple preparation, but with an exceptional result, liver pâté can be an ideal dish for festive meals or special occasions. Here’s how to prepare this delicacy step by step.

We start by preparing the liver. Cut it into cubes and place it in a pot with water and salt. Blanching the liver helps remove impurities and improves its texture. Let it sit in boiling water for about 5 minutes, then drain it well and let it cool. After it has cooled, pass it through a meat grinder together with a peeled potato. The potato will add a note of moisture and make the pâté fluffier.

In a large bowl, add the mixture obtained from the liver and potato, then incorporate the sour cream, beaten eggs, and semolina, mixing well until you obtain a homogeneous composition. At this point, it is important to ensure that all ingredients are well integrated, so the final texture will be uniform and pleasant.

Separately, take an onion and a few cloves of garlic, chop them finely, and sauté them in butter until they become golden and soft. This step is essential, as sautéing the onion and garlic will intensify the flavors and provide a much richer taste to the pâté. After they have cooled, add them to the liver mixture along with the finely chopped parsley. Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper, so that the dish is flavorful and tasty.

Prepare a loaf pan, grease it with a little butter or line it with baking paper, ensuring that the sides are covered as well. Place the liver mixture in the pan, and for an extra flavor, you can insert pieces of cheese or cheese in various places, which will melt in the oven and add a creamy texture to the dish.

Preheat the oven to a moderate temperature and bake the pâté for about 40 minutes, or until it is cooked and has a nicely browned crust. Check with a toothpick if it is cooked and let it cool in the pan to firm up a bit.

After it has cooled, slice the pâté and serve it on a platter. You can accompany this dish with a fresh salad or pickles to add a pleasant contrast. Liver pâté is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed both warm and cold, and it will surely be appreciated by everyone who tastes it. Enjoy your meal!
