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.

Here’s how it rolled:

  • In a fry pan heat the butter on a medium heat and add the onion and garlic.
  • Add the herbs and cook for 3-4 mins before adding the chicken livers
  • Cook for the livers for 5-6 minutes before adding the wine
  • Allow the alcohol to ‘burn off’ (3-4 mins)
  • Add the broth
  • Allow to simmer for further 8-10 minutes
  • Remove from the heat and remove the sprigs of herbs and transfer to a blender or food processor – allow to cool for 10mins (optional)
  • Add the butter and season and blitz until creamy and smooth
  • Remove from the blender and transfer to a ramekin or bowl  – smooth the top using a spoon or palate knife
  • Allow to cool before pouring on the coconut oil to act as a seal
  • Pop in the fridge
