20 minutes

Seared chicken-liver pate with a drizzle of pomegranate

Serves 4 to 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

2 x 125 g tubs chicken-liver pâté
100 g shelled pistachio nuts, chopped
baby cos lettuce leaves, to serve
12 strawberries, thinly sliced
4 T pomegranate concentrate, warmed
extra-long breadsticks, for serving

Method

Place the chicken-liver pâté in the freezer for 15 minutes. Unmould and slice into thick pieces. Sprinkle each side with pistachio nuts.
Heat a nonstick pan until hot then quickly sear each piece. Keep warm in the oven until all the pieces have been seared.
Place on a few baby cos lettuce leaves, scatter over the strawberries and drizzle with the warmed pomegranate concentrate (available from Woolworths or Verlaque). Serve with extra-long breadsticks.

Cooks note: To make the extra-long breadsticks, slice Italian breadsticks into thin lengths, drizzle with olive oil and grill until golden brown.

Variation: The chicken liver and bacon pâté also works well.
