Chicken livers question

[Workingman]

The Co-op had tubs of chicken livers marked down to 10p and as I had a 50p piece rattling round in my pocket..........................

I know that I can make pâté and that it will last a week or so, but that would be a lot of pâté to shift. So, can I freeze either the pâté or the raw chicken livers or is there something else I could do with them which will save?

Thanks.

I freeze fresh ones from Waitrose
And I freeze the pate too.

I definitely have a recipe for tandoori chicken livers somewhere, if you can't find it in a search I'll try and find it.

Di, the trouble is the instruction on the tub says 'do not freeze' but I think that is along the lines of the disagreement over freezing pâté, some people say it turns to mush when it defrosts.

Most of the recipes I found were for pâtés, mousse or terrine, though there was a curry and a Thai stir-fry, but not much else.

I've never had a problem, with either the raw livers or the pate
Hopefully by now you'll have frozen the livers to use as and when but if not get them in the freezer!
Tomorrow I can post the recipe I've always used for pate. Some of them use loads of butter, which may explain the mushiness

I did the stir-fry and it was lush...

The livers are in the fridge for tomorrow. I have different pâtés to do with orange zest, brandy and allspice. Then I'll do a curry.

I'll do them for the freezer and keep fingers crossed - there was 625g in total.

Similar but different, I used to buy chicken hearts in 5 lb bags years ago off a pal that did fresh chickens, I would just cut off the valves and fat from the tops halve them and use instead of steak in a stew. The kids loved them and happily ate them for years till one day I was seen prepping the meal and they then refused to eat them lol.
I wish I could still get them as they were cheap and very tasty, but not seen them available over here fo a very long time. I also used to get the livers and had them just panfried with onions and in gravy again a tasty cheap meal for a growing family.

Panfried with onions and gravy, that sound just the job with some mash and peas. Thanks for that one.

They make nice ear rings.
