Chicken Liver Pate
I remember being a kid at school and hated the fact that my packed-lunch smelled very different to my mates - who all had marmite sandwiches and not chicken pate. Despite not wanting to stand out, I've always loved the flavour and texture. This is a recipe I made recipe at the farm during the Christmas holidays - it didn't last long!! It has plenty of flavour and rich ingredients but packs a nutritional punch. Zan and Matilda often join me in having fried chicken livers for breakfast. Whether you're paleo, low-carb, high carb, keto or primal - liver is a great addition to the diet for it's nutritional benefits. Eating offal is also an important consideration for consuming the whole beast and helping ethical/regenerative farmers to trade in whole animals.
