Method

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, melt 1 stick of butter over low heat.

  2. Stir in the onion and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they become softened.

  3. Add the herbs, salt, pepper, allspice, and livers to the skillet. Cook and stir for approximately 8 minutes, or until the livers are cooked on the outside but still pink on the inside when cut open.

  4. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the bourbon.

  5. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth.

  6. Transfer the pâté to a crock and smooth the top.

  7. In a small heavy saucepan, melt the remaining ½ stick of butter over low heat. Remove the pan from heat and let the butter stand for 3 minutes.

  8. If using herb garnish, place a sprig on top of the pâté.

  9. Skim any froth from the melted butter, then spoon enough clarified butter over the pâté to cover its surface, leaving any milky solids in the bottom of the pan.

  10. Chill the pâté until the butter is firm, approximately 30 minutes.

  11. Cover the pâté with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 more hours.
