Here’s a super recipe for chicken liver pate that hits all the spots. You can use it as a healthy dip or slather it on your favourite toast. Liver is so full of nutrition, plus you get a little fruity kick from the apple.

We absolutely lap this up at home, and I think your family will too! Some of it goes into the freezer for next time. Yum.

Ingredients

3 Tbsp Butter (Salted or clarified butter/ghee)
400 g Chicken Livers
0.5 Red onion (Finely chopped)

3 Sprigs Fresh thyme (Leaves only – be generous)
0.75 Tbsp Apple juice
1 Apple (Grated)

Instructions

Heat up 1 tbsp of the butter or ghee in a frying pan. Fry the onion until it is translucent.
Add the livers and cook for 2/3 minutes on each side.
Stir in the garlic, most of the thyme, apple juice and apple, and cook for a minute.
Put it all into the food processor. Blend until smooth.
Then add the other tbsp of butter/ghee and whizz up again.
Pour into a jar or small bowl. Pop the remaining thyme on top.
Melt the final tbsp of butter/ghee and pour over the top. Leave to cool.

Notes

Cooks’ Tips:

I put into two tubs, one I freeze and the other is ready to go.
Eat within TWO days of making if not freezing and after freezing. Usually, meat has a three-day grace, but with this pate, that is shortened.
To make it dairy-free we love using Tiana Spreadable as this contains some healthy dairy-free oils. You can also try organic dairy-free spread.

    The best and healthiest butter alternative is Tiana spreadable which contains Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Olive Oil and Organic Cold Pressed Flaxseed Oil.
