1
In a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder, combine peppercorns, allspice, clove and coriander seeds; grind until fine and set aside.
2
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; when foam subsides, add onion and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add livers to pan and sprinkle with salt; cook livers on one side until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes, then flip them and cook the other side. Be sure to keep heat relatively high so that the outside of livers sears and inside stays pink.
3
Put onion, livers and their buttery juices into a food processor or blender with remaining butter, the cream, spices and brandy. Puree mixture until it is smooth; taste and adjust seasoning.
4
Put pate in a terrine or bowl, smooth top and put in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours or until fully set. Serve pate with bread or crackers.
