Chicken liver canapés are made by sautéing chicken livers with onions, garlic, and herbs. The mixture is then pureed until smooth and spread on top of a small piece of bread or cracker. The canapés are then baked until the bread is crispy and the chicken liver mixture is warm and fragrant. These canapés are rich, savory, and full of flavor. They are perfect for serving at parties or as a pre-dinner snack.
