Nutrivore Score: 2590
Ingredients
- 1 lb liver
- 1 small onion yellow, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- 6-7 leaves sage minced or 1 tablespoon dried sage
- 1 sprig rosemary minced or 2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/3 cup dry sherry or cognac
- ¼ teaspoon salt to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon ground mace
- 3-4 sprigs thyme minced or 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ cup cooking fat tallow, coconut oil, bacon fat, lard, butter
Instructions
- If using beef or another large liver, slice liver into 2” chunks and remove any vessels the butcher might have missed.
- Line a 7.5″x3.5″ loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Heat ¼ cup of your chosen cooking fat in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Add onion, bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, sage, mace and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are well cooked, about 10 minutes.
- Add liver to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until browned on the outside and still pink in the middle, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add sherry to pan and bring to boil. Boil 2-3 minutes until you can’t smell alcohol in the steam. Remove from heat.
- Remove bay leaf, rosemary stem, and thyme stems. Add salt and the remaining cooking fat.
- Pour hot liver mixture into a blender or food processor. Pulse until smooth.
- Pour into the prepared loaf pan or serving dish of choice. Let cool.
- Once it’s cool enough to touch, cover with plastic wrap tightly across the entire surface to prevent oxidation.
- Refrigerate at least one hour or overnight.
