Pumpkin-Laced Chicken Liver Pâté

500 g chicken liver (about 1.1 lbs)

1 onion
200 g pumpkin (about 7 oz)
2 tbsp white wine (or brandy; or skip it)
3 tbsp chopped nuts
2 apples
100 g butter or margarine (about 3.5 oz)

Dice the onion into small cubes and sauté it in butter. Add the liver, and after a few minutes, add the peeled, chopped apples. Cook until the liver is done, then add the wine. Cut the pumpkin into pieces and microwave it or boil it in a small amount of water. Add the pumpkin to the liver mixture and blend everything in a blender or food processor. Chop the nuts and mix them into the pâté. Stir well. Transfer the pâté to a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. The pâté is incredibly tender and delicious.
