Fry onion and garlic on 2 tsp olive oil and after few minutes add chicken liver, then chicken hearts ( it is not necessary just tastes better). Fry them until all liquid has evaporated. Set aside.
After chicken is done remove from pot and separate meat from bones. Remove all veggies and let them cool it down. You can save chicken broth for future dishes. All ingredients are ready so start preparing mass for pate. Using meat grinder grind whole meat veggies and offal on a smallest mesh. To the meat mass add soaked breadcrumbs, 2 eggs, salt and pepper. Mix by the hand and add melted or warm butter. Keep mixing until you will get smooth creamy mass. Oil baking mold with leftover of butter and cover with breadcrumbs around. Start filling bake mold with pate mass. Use a wet wooden spoon to smooth the surface. Grab the baking mold and hit the table few times. Garnish with rosemary put into the oven for 350 F for 80 minutes.
