Chicken liver pate that I dream about to the extent that today I a) considered buying a can of liver pate in the canned food aisle at whole foods and B considered making Richard's chicken faux gras. Why would I do that when I can go out to get it without seeing the sticks of butter and vats of heavy cream?
Melissa--
I'm not sure how much they charge for faux gras at Central, but it is very easy to make, and free-range chicken livers are the cheapest thing you can buy at Eco-Friendly. The full recipe, made with a pound of chicken livers, ends up being a HUGE amount--4 or 5 substantial ramekins worth. Unless you are having a party, it is way more than two people can eat in 3-4 days. I recommend making half a recipe. It ends up being really cheap. And it is SO delicious.
