Instructions to make Chicken Liver Pâté:

- Add vermouth, turn heat to high, and let it reduce by about half.
- Then add chicken livers and gently toss them in the sauce.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add remainder of the butter (8 Tablespoons) and blend again until completely smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed and blend a few more seconds.
- 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.
