I make this one using chicken livers I've made it using rare breed pork liver, too, but that comes out coarser and stronger tasting.

LIVER PATÉ

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

250g of liver
2 onions
2 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon of butter
½ a teaspoon of mixed herbs
Ground pepper to taste

DEFROSTING

If you are using frozen liver, make sure that it is completely defrosted before use. Leave it in the fridge overnight, or out of the fridge and covered for 4 hours.

METHOD

Peel the onions and chop them into tiny pieces. Peel the garlic and chop it into tiny pieces.

Put the butter into a saucepan on a low heat. Add the onions and garlic. Cook until they are soft. Add the liver and herbs. Cook gently for 10 minutes, mashing it together with a wooden spoon to check that it is cooked through.

Put everything into a bowl and mash it together until it is spreadable and to your desired consistency.

Season with the pepper.

Serve cold on hot buttered toast.

ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES

Use chicken, lamb or pigs liver.

Add 1 tablespoon of sherry when the liver is nearly cooked through.

TIPS

If you cook liver on too high a heat, it will turn out like rubber.

This can be frozen and will keep in the fridge for a day.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Liver pate is unsuitable for pregnant women.

I regularly use a dead simple smoked salmon one. Add a pack of smoked salmon trimmings ( about £1.10 in Tesco) to a pack of cream cheese, add some dill (fresh or dried) and then just blitz in a food processor
