Before you go all… EeeeEEEeeeeEEEwwwww on me… here are a few reasons to try this easy liver pate:

The Paleo Mom, who’s a doctor, says that “Compared to the muscle meat we are used to eating, organ meats are more densely packed with just about every nutrient, including heavy doses of B vitamins such as: B1, B2, B6, folic acid and the very important vitamin B12. Organ meats are also loaded with minerals like phosphorus, iron, copper, magnesium, iodine, calcium, potassium, sodium, selenium, zinc and manganese and provide the important fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.

Organ meats are known to have some of the highest concentrations of naturally occurring vitamin D of any food source. Organ meats also contain high amounts of essential fatty acids, including arachidonic acid and the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA.” Need more reasons… read on

This AIP EASY LIVER PATE

For those of us who actually enjoy the stuff… this one came out great! I have not eaten pate in some time, but I have always liked it. For some reason, I always thought it something over my head. It’s actually pretty basic, the ingredients, not so much.

Traditional pate was made with duck livers. Really, any liver will do, The Paleo Mom will argue that grass-fed beef liver is best. I could not find any. Seriously. 3 different grocery stores (even Whole Foods) and no beef liver. But I did find ORGANIC chicken livers! Now, had they been conventional, I would have passed.

Then, what? Game changer… duck fat! Yes, please! Especially from Mary’s Farm. Love their chicken and duck! Bacon fat or ghee (not AIP) will work well too!

I have since made this Easy Liver Pate, which is so easy, various ways and I will explain those variations next!

So… want to get all (not so) fancy with it? I’ll show you how!

Updates and Variations:

•  I have now tried EASY LIVER PATE with bacon fat & apple cider vinegar (instead of duck fat and balsamic) and it works great!
• I also made this with beef liver, using 1 pound, 3 tablespoons bacon fat and added in 1 cup of mushrooms to the onions. Also used apple cider vinegar and fresh rosemary in this combo and it turned out delicious… actually, my favorite to date.
