Grass-Fed Beef Liver Pate

By

One thing I’m doing as a part of healing decades of being malnourished is incorporating more organ meat in my diet. With lots of garlic, rosemary, and bacon fat, this doesn’t even taste like liver. Plus, it tickled me more than a little to make what is basically meat dip 🙂

Further Food Nutritionist Commentary:

The first thing that jumps out as super healthy, is the fact that the liver is from a grass-fed cow. That means the liver will have less bad stuff and more healthful fats. Another wonderful thing about this recipe is the onion and garlic. Beside flavor, these foods provide wonderful prebiotics-food for the healthy bacteria inhabiting your gut. However, if you are sensitive to fodmaps, or have SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) those prebiotics will cause more harm than good. Both coconut oil and olive oil are extremely good for you, in different ways. Coconut oil is made up of medium chain triglycerides so they are easy to digest and absorb and are used for energy not for storage (weight gain). Olive oil is a good source of oleic acid, a healthful fat that most of us don't get enough of.

    I used mayo, mustard and horseradish sauce instead of oil. It adds flavors that I like and with the balsamic vinegar has a very good taste on crackers or bagels.

    Thank you for this recipe. I cook most meals on a daily basis for my family. I used 1 lb. of grass feed beef liver at an amazing $3.00 per lb. Yes, so cheap! I was borderline on eating liver. This recipe makes it delicious in the form of a pate. The only downside for my kids are the chewy ventricles. Maybe I can strain them out with a mesh or something.

    I’ve learned over many years of cooking liver that if you place the liver in a shallow pan and marinate it with 2tbs of diced garlic and 1/2 cup of orange juice. Let it marinate for at least 4hrs. Then I put the recipe above together to make the pate. All my friends who hate liver love my pate.
