Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet, and lightly brush top of each with some of the olive oil. Bake until the edges are a light brown and the centers are crisp, about 10 minutes.
- Step 2
While the crostini bake, place the parsley in a food processor, and process until finely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl, and set aside.
- Step 3
Place the livers, ¼ cup olive oil and garlic in a 2½-quart casserole with a tight-fitting lid. Cook, covered, at 100 percent power in a high-power microwave oven for 2 minutes. Stir well, re-cover, and cook for 1 minute.
- Step 4
Remove from the oven and uncover. Scrape the mixture into a food processor. Add the anchovies, and process until smooth. Taste, and add salt, pepper and gin.
- Step 5
Spread 1 rounded tablespoon of the chicken-liver mixture on each of the crostini. Sprinkle the tops with the reserved parsley or sage.
