Instructions
Instructions are for 10 servings. Please modify as needed.
Chicken liver paté
Chop onion and garlic finely and fry soft in a couple of tablespoons of butter on medium high heat. Remove from the pan.
Increase the heat and add a couple of more tablespoons butter to the same pan. Fry the liver so that it gets fried on all sides. Add liquor. Salt and pepper.
Lower the heat and reduce the juices. Let cool for a couple of minutes.
Place the fried onion, garlic and liver in a food processor or a blender and mix into a smooth batter together with the rest of the butter and tomato paste. Spread out in a small baking dish, about 7 x 8 inches (18 x 20 cm).
Add four ounces of butter for the topping to a small pan and melt carefully on medium heat. Let the white milk protein sink to the bottom and carefully pour the cleared butter into a small bowl.
Stir in thyme and pepper. Pour the melted butter over the paté batter and let cool in the refrigerator.
Serve on seed crackers or thin slices of low-carb bread with pickled red onions or cucumbers.
Thyme butter
Tip!
You can make the paté in advance and keep in the freezer. It will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

What are the freezer guidelines, many thanks. Want to make a batch as will never manage this amount on my own.

Just ate the last piece of this, having frozen it. Seemed OK. Next batch this weekend and this time I'll be using all the butter. Ate with salt pickled red cabbage too. Fabulous. And an easy way to get loads of D3/K2, whilst tasting ruddy "loverly".

For step 6, to which portion should I be adding the thyme? Into the cleared butter in the small bowl?

This is super tasty. I left out the onion, tomato paste and brandy (saved a few carbs) and added an extra clove of garlic. My daughter (who hates liver) loved this!

You can weigh the total batch and divide that by 10 to get the serving size by weight. If you are asking about grams of carbohydrates, there are 2g carbs per serving.

Yes, because it's pouring the clarified butter after it separates onto the topping.

Absolutely addicting, especially with the seed crackers. I could eat this stuff for all three meals! And really easy to make!

I just made this and it's completely delicious. Tastes divine and makes a really good portion. Looking forward to trying it with keto seed crackers. So easy to make. I've never attempted to make pate before & if I can do it anyone can

It says to "Fry the liver so that it gets fried on all sides." Does that mean just searing the outsides, while the insides are still slightly rare? Or should the livers be cooked well done throughout? Or does it matter? Thanks for the recipe, can't wait to try it.

I believe you want it to be cooked through on all sides.

I made this yesterday and I wasn't sure what it was going to turn out like as tasting before pouring it into the dish, it didn't really taste of anything. Tried it again later with some DD flatbread and crispbreads, having been in the fridge for a few hours - wow - absolutely delicious!! I'll freeze most of the rest to eat over Christmas and would definitely make again!
