Chicken Liver Mousse with Vinegar Onions and Pistachios, $11
Smooth, fatty, creamy mousse with vinegary onions and topped with salty pistachios. Liver lovers will enjoy the taste, while those usually put off by the lack of texture will enjoy the crunch of the toast and nuts. You’ll be scraping the jar with whatever you can find.
