pashtet recipe

This pashtet recipe is my big love. It’s not a new dish at all, on the contrary, it’s a classic with a barely perceptible retro character.

I always say that chicken liver recipes (well, livers in general) are a very uncompromising “thing”: you either adore them or don’t even want to look in their direction. Well, there is another option: you can make this chicken liver spread according to my favorite Ukrainian or Russian pashtet recipe and a miracle can happen, as in the case of my husband.

Someone will say that liver recipes are ordinary dishes …

Don’t listen to them … don’t be misled by the extremely easy recipe and the simplicity of the ingredients. The main thing here is the taste! And this chicken liver pate is, without exaggeration, luxurious!

Delicate creamy texture and rich expressive taste, combined with a slice of bread make a fantastic snack or a party appetizer.

Do you want to make this appetizer more refined and elegant? Replace regular bread with crunchy toasts, tarts, crackers, or baguette slices. It’s also a perfect spread for canapés.

The best pashtet recipe

Ukrainian or Russian liver pate is called pashtet.

There are different types of pashtet recipe:
• some are baked in the oven and then cut into slices like a meatloaf
• others resemble a liver spread, which is just fabulous in the company of crackers, croutons, or a simple slice of bread
• some chicken liver pate recipes call for wine, but I prefer pate without alcohol

This pashtet recipe has been my favorite since childhood. Mom and Grandma often prepared it for the holidays and as a snack or appetizer for every day.

Often ingenious things impress with their simplicity. And in the case of this liver spread recipe, it’s exactly like that!

What is chicken liver spread?

It’s a silky-smooth chicken liver pate full of flavor and perfect for parties but also as an everyday appetizer. If you love liver recipes you definitely should taste it.

What are the main ingredients for this pashtet recipe

This Ukrainian or Russian pashtet recipe calls for chicken livers (obviously… LOL)… as well as carrots and onions, butter, spices, and a little of good mood – that’s all you need for one of the most delicious spreads for canapés and crackers. I told you that everything is very easy in this case.

Here are my favorite 5 Ways to serve this pate:

  1. Many people’s favorite classic is a slice of bread paired with a generous layer of liver spread. Do you want to make this appetizer more refined? Replace regular bread with a French baguette or crispy toast. In this case you don’t need much to be happy!
  2. This Ukrainian or Russian pashtet is a fantastic filling for stuffed eggs. This dish is perfect as an appetizer for parties or a buffet
  3. Pashtet will give your sandwiches a new unexpected taste. The recipe for a fantastic sandwich is very simple – a slice of bread or crispy toast, liver spread, a leaf of fresh lettuce and a few rings of juicy tomato. Simple, delicious, fresh and satisfying.
  4. Take a sprig of celery or carrots and dip them into this chicken liver pate. In extreme cases, regular crackers or grissini can be used instead of vegetables.
  5. Pashtet is the perfect filling for savory choux puffs. You’ll get a spectacular appetizer!

Ingredients

If you are a happy digital kitchen scale owner, I highly recommend using it instead of cups and spoons. Especially when it comes to baking recipes. A scale gives you far more accurate results than volume measurements (everyone scoops ingredients differently). Trust me, using a kitchen scale to measure ingredients will take your baking to a new level.

  • ½ pound (300 g) chicken livers
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1 big onion
