Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces pastured bacon
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb grass-fed beef liver
  • 1 tbsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tbsp Dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Cook bacon in a large pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove from pan and set aside to cool.
  • Leave some of the bacon grease in the pan, then add in the onion and garlic and sauce for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add in the liver and seasonings, then cook for 5 minutes per side or until no longer pink in the center.
  • Add cooked liver to a high speed food processor with coconut oil, salt, and 3 slices of bacon. Process until mixture reaches a smooth consistency, adding more coconut oil as needed.
  • Transfer pâté to a bowl. Chop up remaining bacon and use as garnish. Serve with crackers or smeared on crostini.

Notes

To remove some of the metallic taste that liver can sometimes have, you can soak it in a brine. Fill a large mixing bowl with water and 1 cup salt, then add in raw liver and allow to soak for 1-2 hours before using.
