How to prepare the chicken liver mousse with truffle and sweet wine jellies with caramelized walnuts and figs

Clean them well removing all the fat parts and the filaments.

Put 1/3 of the butter in the pan with the bay leaves and let it melt slowly.

Add salt and pepper and deglaze with a 4 cl of Brandy or Marsala. Let it evaporate and remove the chicken livers with a skimmer. Reduce the remaining liquid in the pan, add a little more brandy or Marsala, let it evaporate again.

Blend the chicken livers in the mixer by combining the remaining butter into small pieces, the sauce and taste. If needed add a pinch of salt.

Add the truffle julienne with a final pulse. Put the mixture thus obtained in a bowl, dip it in some ice and with the electric whisk, whip it all together to obtain a light and frothy mixture.

Serve at room temperature with toasted bread. If want to go on and add a nice sweet touch, you can make the sweet wine jelly. In this way, you can transform the classic paté and sweet wine into a unique dish!
