The Beef Liver Pate recipe is a game-changer for people who don't like the taste of liver. But don't worry; this recipe has a secret spice that changes the taste in a way that even people who don't like beef liver will love. I know what you are thinking, liver. Ewww! But trust me, I've tried a lot of recipes in my time, and this one takes the cake (or pate, in this case) as my favorite. It's not only delicious, but it's also easy to make. I was so happy when my kids and even their friends ate it up spoon by spoon. And what was best? You can try different livers from chicken, lamb, goat, elk, and moose. The options are endless. But let's talk about the beef liver, organ meat which is the star of the show. It comes from cows that eat grass, which means it has more healthy fats and less bad stuff. Beef liver pate is a decadent treat that will make your taste buds dance. Imagine a spread that is full of cream cheese, fresh herbs, and beef liver that has been sautéed. It would be like a party in your mouth. But this isn't just any spread; it's a sophisticated appetizer fit for a queen. Spread it on crackers, baguettes, brioche, or toast, and get ready to be amazed. According to BBC Good Food, liver and liver products such as paté are a hidden treasure trove of nutrients, especially vitamin A in the form of retinol. This "active" form of vitamin A is not often found in muscle meats, and plant sources must be changed before the body can use them. So, if you want to get more vitamin A, ditch the chicken breast and give the liver a try. Whether it's in the form of a creamy paté or a traditional dish, your taste buds and body will thank you for the change. Beef Liver Pate Recipe Secrets Beef liver pate is a tasty and rich spread that can be used as a dip or spread on crackers or bread. It is one of the main ingredients for this amazing Filipino Beef Caldreta. You'll need a few key things to make the best beef liver pate. You'll need fat first. Ghee is my favorite because of how sweet it is, but you can also use butter. Coconut oil or lard can be used instead of ghee for people who can't handle it. Then, you'll need onions. By caramelizing the onions in the fat, their natural sweetness comes out and gives the pate more depth of flavor. Sage is an important part of this recipe as well. It gives the beef liver a unique, tasty flavor that goes well with it. Allspice is another important ingredient to add. It is a spice that can be used in many ways and is often thought of as a Christmas or pumpkin spice, like cinnamon and nutmeg. But it can also be used to make savory dishes like pate. Lastly, it's important to use liver from grass-fed beef. It is better for you and makes the pate taste much better. The grass-fed beef liver will make the pate taste better and be of better quality. How to store Liver Pate To keep your paté's delicious flavor, you can store it in the fridge in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap. This way, you'll be able to eat the cold and savory snack within five days without any weird flavors sneaking in. Beef Liver Pate Recipe Ingredients 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp ghee butter or other butter (150 g) 1 large or 2 small onions (200 g) 2 garlic cloves 14 oz beef liver (lamb, chicken, or whatever you prefer) (400 g) 1 tsp of salt 1 1/2 tsp of allspice 2 Tbsp of chopped fresh sage 1/4 tsp of pepper 4 Tbsp of heavy cream (use coconut milk for a dairy-free recipe) Instructions Roughly chop an onion and sauté it on low heat in ghee (or any other butter of your choice) until it's caramelized (about 15 minutes) Slice the liver and remove any white, thin membrane. Chop the garlic and add with the onions to a food processor. Once the onions and garlic are blended nicely, take them out of the food processor. Sauté the liver over medium heat in the remaining fat until it's cooked all the way through. Let the liver and fat cool for a couple of minutes before adding them to a food processor. Add in the onion, garlic, salt, allspice, sage, pepper, and heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option) Blend the mixture until it is nice and smooth. Line a container with plastic wrap, and smooth the paté into the container so it can chill and becomes sliceable. Optional: Place the paté in a bowl or other container and scoop it out as needed. You can eat it right away or let it cool and harden to blend the flavors. Like our beef liver pate recipe? Spread the love by pinning the yummy image on your Pinterest board.

When looking for beef liver in a grocery store, it's important to know that it might not be in the usual fresh meat section.

I've been trying out more plant-based options in the new year, and tempeh is a new-to-me plant-based protein I've liked experimenting with. It's a tricky protein to cook well (I find tofu is much easier) but I've gotten a lot of requests for tofu-free plant-based recipes so this one is different than my usual! If you still prefer tofu over the taste of tempeh, I've included instructions for both options. This recipe is from my February 2024 grocery series where I turned a grocery haul into five meals, and it's perfect for a busy weeknight dinner!

I've read about Egglife wraps and decided to try them when I spotted them (for the first time) in the refrigerated dairy section at my local Safeway grocery store. I didn't have a lot of expectations for how this would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. The wraps don't have the exact same texture or taste as noodles -- the texture isn't bad though, it held together similar to a traditional lasagna, and the wraps tasted like the sauce (not eggy, like I was worried). My kids liked it and had seconds. The use of Egglife wraps instead of traditional pasta sheets helps reduce the carb content of this lasagna lasagna AND makes it gluten-free (make sure all of the other ingredients are also gluten-free, if necessary). Additionally, the sugar-free tomato basil tomato sauce makes this a little healthier--but you can use whatever tomato sauce you're comfortable with. However, it's important to note that the exact carb content may vary depending on the specific brands and ingredients you use. If you have specific dietary requirements or restrictions, it's always a good idea to check the nutritional information on the products you use and adjust the recipe accordingly. You can customize the recipe by adding vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the ground beef mixture. I served my lasagna with a green garden salad.

Looking to add other grains to your diet? Try millet as a hot breakfast cereal. Note: I adopted this as an "authorless" recipe, as it was one I had tried and liked. I have changed the recipe from the original description that it made 2 servings; as I and both other reviewers at this time found that it really makes 1 serving. It can, however, be doubled very easily. I cook mine in my rice cooker which I recommend as a very easy way to make this.

A simple method to make perfect brown rice, every single time! Forget mushy, sticky, or undercooked brown rice—your brown rice troubles are now over!
This recipe came from www.tilapia.ws that turned out wonderfully. It is a rich and spicy recipe that can be used on other similar fish as well. It was difficult to roll the fillets easily, so I placed one fillet on the bottom of the casserole dish, layered the crabmeat on it and topped with another fillet of Tilapia. Larger fillets would work out better for rolling. Also one can adjust the amount of cayenne as desired. Worked out great.
My husband refuses to eat anything with Ricotta Cheese. I tried several different versions and this was his favorite. Now, it's the only lasagna I fix.
This recipe has a lighter beef flavor than most recipes I've tried. I have never liked MD Crab Soup because of how much it reminds me of a beef and veggie soup...UNTIL I tried it recently at a local restaurant and I loved it. You can taste the Old Bay® and the beef, yet neither are overwhelming. What you taste is a wonderful light blend of crab, beef, & veggies. My boyfriend is from MD, and he said it was the best MD Crab Soup he's EVER had.
Are you craving that great Mexican rice from your favorite taco stand? Here it is. This is just like a good Mexican restaurant rice. Many recipes taste good... but the texture just isn't right. You know how it is... you have prepared scores of Mexican rice recipes but always have been disappointed. It may be delicious but kinda "gloopy and wet." Try this. Everything is pureed and cooked in. There are no chunks of anything... just dry fluffy rice with all the seasonings and just the tiniest hint of a tomato flavor. I will throw away all of my Mexican rice recipes- this is the one I have been looking for for years! I don't own a rice cooker but some people have had disappointing results using one. You will also need to adjust your cooking time if you want to use brown rice. I recommend following the cooking instructions as directed. Proceed at your own peril if you stray. Enjoy.
