Method

Begin with making the chicken liver parfait. Remove the chicken livers, butter and eggs from the fridge 1 hour before starting and set aside to come to room temperature.
Meanwhile, place eschalot, garlic, herbs and alcohol in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Simmer until liquid reduces by half. Cool.
