Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Liver

Start by thoroughly cleaning the **liver**, removing any membranes, veins, or impurities. Cut the liver into equal-sized pieces so they cook uniformly.

Step 2

Sauté the Vegetables

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the **onion**, **garlic**, and **carrot** until the onion becomes translucent and soft. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

Combine Ingredients

In a saucepan, add the prepared **liver** along with **salt** and **pepper** to taste. Then pour in the **cream** and **broth**, followed by the sautéed **onion** and **carrot** mixture. Stir everything together and mix well.

Step 4

Cook the Mixture

Add a bit of **thyme** or your favorite spices for extra flavor. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Cover it with a lid and let it simmer for an additional **10 to 15 minutes** on low heat.

Step 5

Cool and Blend

Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for about **30 minutes** to cool down slightly. After it has cooled, use a blender to purée the mixture until smooth.

Step 6

Add Butter and Taste

Add the **room temperature butter** to the puréed mixture and blend again until fully incorporated. Now taste the pâté and adjust the **seasoning** if necessary.

Step 7

Store the Pâté

Transfer the finished pâté into jars or containers. For best results, refrigerate it for at least **3 to 4 hours** before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy your homemade pâté as a delicious spread!

Servings

When it comes to serving your homemade pâté, the options are endless! Spread it generously on crusty baguettes or warm crostini for a delightful starter. 🎉 You can even pair it with some tangy pickles and crunchy crudités for a vibrant appetizer platter! 🥒🥕

For a more sophisticated presentation, serve it in beautiful ramekins topped with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil. This adds a lovely touch to your brunch table and impresses your guests! ✨

Don’t forget about the classic combination with some crusty bread and a glass of red wine for a cozy evening snack. 🍷 Let your imagination run wild and experiment with different sides; it’s all about what you love!

Vegan Variation: Swap the liver for cooked lentils or mushrooms and replace cream with coconut cream for a plant-based twist. You'll still retain a creamy texture and delightful flavor! 🌱✨
