How To Make Chicken Liver Pate with Blackberry Chutney Method:

1. To make the pate, add the chicken livers to a sieve, rinse with cold water, drain well then tip out on to a chopping board. 
2.  Roughly chop, discarding any central white cores.
3. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onion and fry for 5 minutes until softened and just beginning to turn golden. 
4.  Add the butter, heat until melted then mix in the garlic and chicken livers. 
5. Fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring until the livers are browned but still pink in the centre.
6. Add the brandy, heat until bubbling, then flame with a lit taper or long match. 
7.  Stand well back until the flames subside, then stir in the stock, salt and peppercorns. 
8.  Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until some of the stock has evaporated. 
9.  Allow to cool then blitz in a food processor or liquidiser until smooth. 
10.  Spoon into a dish, cover and transfer to the fridge when cool enough. 
11. Chill for 3 hours or overnight.
12. To make the chutney, heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the onions and fry for 10 minutes, stirring until softened. 
13.  Stir in the sugar and fry for 5-10 more minutes, stirring more frequently until the onions are caramelised.
14. Mix in the vinegar, blackberries and a little salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes until the blackberries are just cooked through. 
15.  Take off the heat, spoon into a clip jar, cover and leave to cool.

To serve, slice and toast the bread, cut each slice in half again then spread with the chilled pate, a leaf or two of watercress and a generous teaspoonful of the chutney. Arrange on a large plate and serve with drinks.

Tip: Store any leftover chutney in the fridge as it has only small amounts of vinegar and sugar.
