I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Place 100g butter in bowl and melt 3 minutes, 60 degrees. Set aside.
- Place 40g of the butter, onion, garlic and sage into the bowl and chop for 2 seconds/speed 6. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then sauté for 3 minutes/varoma temperature/speed soft.
- Whilst this is cooking, trim excess sinew from the liver if necessary, then rinse and pat dry. Set aside.
- Scrape down the bowl, then add the bacon and pear and sauté for an additional 3 minutes/varoma/speed 1.
- Add the livers, brandy, salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes/varoma/ speed 1. Check to see the livers are still pink inside (overcooking them will result in a grainy pate). If the smaller sized livers are still dark pink, cook for an extra minute.
- Blend for 20 seconds/speed 8. Scrape down the bowl, add the additional butter and cream, then blend another 20 seconds/speed 8.
- Pour the pate into ramekins, garnish with a sage leaf and pour the melted butter over the top to seal.
Tip
Chicken or duck livers have the mildest flavour, so they’re great for offal novices.
Enjoy with sliced apple, raw veggies or sourdough toast.
Pate with fresh, grass-fed livers (ideal) will last 4-5 days unsealed and up to 14 days if properly sealed with fat.
This quantity yeilds 4 large ramekins.

So delicious!!! I was hesitant to make pate as I'm not usually a fan of organ meats. However, this might have just changed my mind! The leek, bacon, pear and garlic were delicious together and all the butter and cream meant it was super creamy! I am now a pate convert and this recipe was perfect to start with as it had delicious flavours. Thank you!
I used shallots instead of brown onion. This recipe has a lovely delicate flavour.
This recipe was delicious and so easy to make! I made it for a French themed baking event I went to today and so many people commented how great it was! Thanks
