Add the water and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the livers are barely pink inside, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the livers, onion and garlic to a food processor; process until coarsely pureed. With the machine on, add the butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, until incorporated. Add the Cognac, season with salt and pepper and process until completely smooth. Scrape the p\u00e2t\u00e9 into 2 or 3 large ramekins. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the p\u00e2t\u00e9 and refrigerate until firm. Serve chilled.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoyed reading this post by Pat Whelan of James Whelan Butchers.
