Method
- Peel and roughly chop the shallot and peel and finely slice the garlic.
- Trim away any sinew from the chicken liver and heart and roughly chop the bacon.
- Place the bacon in a small non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and dry fry for 5 minutes, then add the butter, shallot and garlic and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until softened.
- Add the liver and heart and colour all over, then pour over the calvados. Carefully tilt the pan to catch the flame (or light with a long match) and let it flambé – stand back! When the flames subside tip it all onto a board and finely chop into a coarse pâté.
- Slice the cornichons in half lengthways and place in a bowl, then pick in the parsley leaves, and add a splash of white wine vinegar.
- Toast the baguette slices on a griddle over a high heat, then drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Spread over the pâté and top with the cornichons, then get stuck in.
