Directions:
in a large skillet melt 4 Tbsp butter over a medium high heat.
Add the onions, cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
Add the garlic, and cook about 20-30 seconds.
Add the chicken livers, 1 Tbsp of the capers, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper.
Cook these together until the livers are browned on the outside and still slightly pink on the inside, about 5 minutes.
Add the milk and brandy and cook until most of the liquid is evaporated and the livers are cooked through, but still tender.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly, discard the bay leaves.
In a food processor, puree the liver mixture.
Add remaining butter in pieces and pulse to blend.
Fold in the remaining capers and adjust seasoning to taste (may need salt).
Pack the pate into ramekins or small molds, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 6 hours.
Serve with crostini or crackers with cornishons on the side.
