Questions

Can I make Chicken Liver Pâté dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, 1/4 cup heavy cream. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the cream for full-fat coconut milk or an oat cooking cream. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Chicken Liver Pâté keep?

Refrigerate it in a sealed container for up to four days and stir it back together before serving.

Can I halve or double Chicken Liver Pâté?

Yes. As written it serves 8. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, blend in batches rather than overfilling the jar.
