In the meantime: using a small paring knife remove the membranes and small vessels from the livers.

In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt the first amount of butter until foamy and cook the livers until brown on the outside and pink on the inside; I use a small knife to check the cooking of each piece. The livers should not touch each other while cooking.

In the bowl of the food processor, put the garlic, livers and remaining ingredients. Mix 1 minute to get a silky puree. Stop and scrape the bowl once or twice while proceeding.
