Ingredients:

  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped

  • 1/2 onion, chopped

  • 2 large sage leaves, *extra for garnishing

  • 1/4 tsp rosemary chopped

  • 1/2 tsp thyme leaves

  • 3 tbsp chicken stock

  • 1 1/3 cups Ghee, + 4 Tbsp melted to seal

  • 400g organic chicken livers, trimmed, roughly chopped

  • 1 1/4 tsp salt

  • ground black pepper, to taste

    Method:

    1. 1)  Place garlic, sage, rosemary and thyme and stock in a saucepan over a medium-low heating simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes or until softened.

    2. 2)  Add chopped liver, ghee, salt and pepper and sauté gently, stirring so the liver doesn’t stick to the pan, for 5 minutes.

    3. 3)  Transfer to a food processor and blend until smooth.

  • 4)  Divide pâté between ramekins, containers or jars and smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Place a couple of sage leaves (if using), then drizzle over the melted ghee, to seal.

    Storage:

    Store in containers, in freezer for up to 2 months, removing one at a time to the fridge as needed. Store sealed with ghee and covered in the fridge for up to 2 weeks: once seal is broken, use within 1 week.
