It’s unforgettable and unique! Delicate spicy pasta made of chicken liver and wine, port wine jelly with dried cranberries and pears baked with balsamic vinegar… A real taste pleasure! I suggest serving this snack with red wine.
Pour 1/2 cup cranberry juice (125 ml) with red wine and set aside to infuse.
In a small saucepan, combine the remaining wine, garlic, cloves and rosemary.
Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for 8 minutes until the liquid boils to a volume of 40 ml. Filter.
Preheat the oven to 160 gr. The form (I have 15×15 cm) should be lined with baking paper.
Melt 25 g of butter in a frying pan, add the liver. Fry it over medium heat for 2 minutes, turning it over once. The liver should change color on the outside, but remain raw on the inside.
Transfer the liver and juices to the bowl of a food processor, add the boiled port wine, the remaining butter, egg, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
Whisk until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve.
Pour into a baking dish and place in the oven for 30 minutes until it hardens. Cool the finished pasta completely.
Fill the gelatin with a small amount of wine (pour from the one in which you soaked the cranberries) and leave to swell for 40-60 minutes.
Then dilute over low heat, mix with the remaining port wine and cranberries. Place on a chilled plate, evenly distributing the cranberries over the surface, and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to solidify.
To bake pears, preheat the oven to 180 gr.
Cut pears into cubes or make such hemispheres. Transfer to a baking dish.
Drizzle with vinegar, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the pears are soft and the sugar on their surface melts. Put them on a napkin to remove excess liquid, and let cool.
Meanwhile, cut the bread into small pieces.
Cut the pate into small cubes, too. To get a smooth cut, it must be done with a clean hot knife. We assemble the canapes: first, put a piece of pear on a skewer, then carefully a piece of pate and bread.
