Here is the recipe for the parfait:
Chicken Liver and Foie Gras Parfait
| Fresh foie gras | g | 250 |
| Fresh chicken livers | g | 250 |
| Ruby port | ml | 125 |
| | ml | 125 |
| Brandy | ml | 60 |
| Shallots(peeled and sliced) | g | 150 |
| Garlic(peeled and sliced) | clove | 2 |
| Tyhme | sprig | 2 |
| Eggs | ea | 5 |
| Unsalted butter | g | 500 |
| Pink salt(nitrate) | tspn | 1 |
| Salt | | |
| Ground white pepper | ||
- Preheat a low oven to 250°F, or a Rational oven to 90ÂșC. Chop the foie gras and chicken livers(season the livers with pink salt) into small pieces and place them in a large pan and bring them up to room temperature. Crack the eggs into a large pan and also bring them up to room temperature. Melt the butter in a pan and keep warm.
- Reduce all of the alcohol with the shallots, garlic, and thyme until almost dry and remove the thyme.
- Liquidize the foie gras, chicken livers and eggs until smooth, then add the butter slowly but steadily and correct the seasoning. You will need to do this in batches. For a smoother parfait, leave the blender running for a few minutes. Pass the mixture through a fine chinois.
- Line the bottom of the terrine (1-1/2 qt capacity) with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the terrine molds just below the lip and cover with foil. Place the parfaits into a bain-marie with the water level with the parfait mix. Cook in the preheated oven for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 60- 65C. Remove from the bain-marie, leave to cool to room temperature then refridgerate for 24 hours.
- If not using immediately, cover the parfait with clarified butter. This will stop the parfait from oxidizing.
