Ingredients

  • 500 g/ 1.1 lbs chicken liver
  • 250 g/ 8.8 oz chicken breast
  • 100 g/ 3.5 oz green onions
  • 50 g/ 1.7 oz green garlic See note
  • 1 can sliced mushrooms
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 bunch parsley about 30 g/ 1.05 oz chopped parsley leaves
  • 1 bunch dill about 30 g/ 1.05 oz chopped dill
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a small baking dish 20x20 cm/ 8x8 inches with baking paper.
  • Place the chicken liver in a medium pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 3-4 minutes and drain well. It should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the middle. In another pot cook the chicken breast as well, it should be cooked through.
  • In the meantime roughly chop the onions and garlic. If using regular garlic, you should grate it. Drain the mushrooms and roughly chop the herbs.
  • Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl.
  • When the chicken liver and breast are cool enough to handle, chop them both into pieces.
  • Place all the prepared ingredients in the food processor, add the salt and the pepper, and process until you obtain a rough paste. I never make it too fine, I like to have some bits of meat and greens left. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and level. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until a nice crust is formed.
  • Let cool completely, remove from the baking dish and cut into squares. Serve as suggested above.

Notes

If you cannot get green garlic, replace it with more green onions and add about 4 grated garlic cloves to the mixture.
Or use 50 g/ 1.7 oz wild garlic, if available.
