My dining companion was a bit skeptical when I said I&#8217;d be making a p\u00c3\u00a2t\u00c3\u00a9, but I think we were both suitably pleased with it. It was very smooth with a mild flavour, and the aromas of the cognac really coming through. I&#8217;d never had fruit in a p\u00c3\u00a2t\u00c3\u00a9 before, and the sweetness of the currants (I cheated and used small raisins) was a really nice addition.<\/p>\n<p>Actually making this was a bit offputting. I didn&#8217;t much enjoy watching the livers swirl into a paste in the food processor, and tasting for seasoning while it was still hot was an experience I wouldn&#8217;t rush to repeat. Once it had cooled and had a bit of time to come together it was absolutely delicious. That said, this is not a p\u00c3\u00a2t\u00c3\u00a9 for those who are at all squeamish about liver. This is more like a smooth liverwurst than the more terrine like p\u00c3\u00a2t\u00c3\u00a9s you often run into.<\/p>\n<p>I had a good time gathering mildly grossed out looks from friends when I told them about this one, it would seem that liver isn&#8217;t too popular amongst my social set.
