Liver Parfait with Spiced Red Wine Shallots and Orange Sauce
Slofoodgroup Team September 21, 2022
Creamy Liver Parfait Appetizer with Spiced Wine Sauce
Get your next dinner party off to a great start with this appetizer! If you have never made a parfait before, don’t be scared; it’s easy! A parfait is a type of pâté, or liver paste, but with a smoother consistency. It is usually cooked after the ingredients are blended together. We love it spread atop pumpernickel bread and topped with a luxurious spiced red wine and shallot sauce.
Surprise everyone with a touch of bright orange sauce and you've got the perfect bite. This recipe is packed with surprising flavors, including star anise, orange, and cinnamon. Perfect for any occasion or for a quick lunch, it’s easy to make in advance and store in the fridge for when you need it.

Ingredients
For the chicken liver parfait:
- 1/4 cup chicken livers, trimmed and cleaned
- 1 small egg
- 1 teaspoon cognac
- pinch of flake sea salt
- pinch of Chinese five-spice powder
- pinch of freshly ground white pepper
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and left to cool slightly
- 2 tablespoon double cream, warm
For the red wine shallots sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon white flour
- splash of port wine, about 3 tbsp
- 1 star anise
- 1/4 cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2-3 cloves
- 1 bay leaf
For the Orange Syrup:
- 15 grams/0.5 oz candied orange peel
- 1/4 cup of water
- 3 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Procedure
- She tart by making the orange syrup: place the candied orange peel in a small saucepan together with water, lemon juice, orange juice and 1 tablespoon of sugar; heat gently on low until the sugar dissolves; transfer to a blender and gradually incorporate the olive oil into the mixture; transfer to a squeeze bottle and store in the fridge until needed.
- Preheat oven to 75°C/170°F.
- Season the chicken livers with salt and place in a food processor with the spices and egg; pulse until smooth paste forms; slowly add the warm cream and melted butter and finish with the cognac; transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and cook for 20 minutes; allow to cool down completely before serving.
- To make the wine shallots, simply add all the ingredients to a saucepan and cook on low until a thick sauce forms; remove the star anise, cinnamon stick and bay leaves before serving.
- To serve, scoop a generous amount of the parfait to pumpernickel bread, add the wine shallots on top, drizzle orange syrup on top and garnish with fresh dill or parsley.
