The ingredients needed to make Chicken Liver Pâté:

1. Make ready 12 tablespoons (1.5 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2. Make ready 2 large shallots, peeled and finely chopped (3/4 to 1 cup)
3. Take 1 pound fresh chicken livers, trimmed of fat and connective tissue
4. Get 2 teaspoons dried thyme or 1 Tablespoon of fresh thyme that's been chopped (lavender and parsley are also great additions - or even dried Herbes de Provence)
5. Take 1/3 cup dry vermouth (you can also use red or white wine, Port, or Madeira, depending on which flavor you prefer)
6. Get 1 teaspoon kosher salt to start
7. Get 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions to make Chicken Liver Pâté:

1. Put a large, heavy sauté pan over medium heat, and melt 4 tablespoons of the butter until it begins to foam. Add the shallots, and sweat them for 4 to 5 minutes…
2. Just until they're all translucent. You don't want them to brown. Then add thyme, stir it in, and let it bloom in the hot butter for a minute or so.
3. Add vermouth, turn heat to high, and let it reduce by about half.
4. Then add chicken livers and gently toss them in the sauce.
5. Add salt and pepper, then let livers cook, occasionally gently stirring and folding to make sure all sides get cooked, just until the livers are lightly browned on the outside, but still tender and pink on the inside.
6. Let livers cool for 15 minutes or so before putting them in a food processor or blender (along with all of the sauce) and puree until smooth.
7. Add remainder of the butter (8 Tablespoons) and blend again until completely smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed and blend a few more seconds.
8. Transfer the pâté into a lidded container, give the bottom a few gentle taps on the counter to pack it, then cover entire surface with plastic wrap or wax paper, put lid on container, and refrigerate until firm. (At least two hours.) - - The pâté should keep at least 5 to 7 days well refrigerated.
9. Serve with baguette, toast, or crackers, and enjoy! :)

Discover How to Elevate Your Mood with Food

In general, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and must be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this holds true. At times, comfort foods can be utterly nourishing and good for us to consume. There are several foods that basically can boost your moods when you eat them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try several of these.

Eggs, you might be surprised to find out, are great at fighting depression. You should make sure, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. When you want to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most crucial part of the egg. Eggs, specifically the egg yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can be fantastic for elevating your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that dictate your mood. Eat a couple of eggs to cheer up!

Put together a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all great for helping to raise your mood. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to raise serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given time. The more serotonin in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, particularly, are a great protein food source.

If you want to overcome depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3s. DHA and omega-3s are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain function a lot better. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you fight your depression.

It’s easy to overcome your bad mood when you consume grains. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are great at helping you feel happier. These foods fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods too. Feeling hungry can actually make you feel awful! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are not hard for your body to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.

Green tea is actually great for your mood. You knew green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid actually induces brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while also loosening up the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you be so much healthier. Now you are well aware that it helps you to elevate your moods as well!

Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you are wanting to help your moods get better. Try a couple of of these tips instead.
