Creamy Chicken Liver Mousse
Scott Howell developed this creamy chicken liver mousse with his former sous–chef Bill McGhee. The key to its rich texture is to let the livers come to room temperature and to blend the softened butter into them gradually when pureeing. This recipe must be refrigerated overnight to let the flavors develop, so plan accordingly.Plus: More Appetizer Recipes and Tips
