Patches shared some organs from organically raised Highland cattle yesterday morning. Cannot get any better than that!
Ingredients:
1 pound of beef liver, cut in slices
1 medium onion
1 cup bacon fat or lard (it's what I had on hand, use other fat if you prefer. divided)
4 cloves minced garlic
1 oz brandy
1 Tbsp dried mustard
1/2 tsp mace
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh rosemary
1 Tbsp fresh thyme
1 oz chopped preserved ginger & 2 tbsp of the juice
Melt a couple tablespoons of the fat in a sauté pan. Over low heat, slowly cook the onions with the sliced liver until no more blood comes out of the liver. Add the garlic, brandy, mustard, mace, rosemary, thyme & ginger with its juice. Cook briefly.
Allow the liver to cool a few minutes then place in your food processor. Melt the rest of the fat in the pan and add to the food processor in a slow stream. Process until very smooth.
I transferred this pate into small mason jelly jars. If you are not going to use right away, melt a little butter to pour on top to cover the pate, cap and freeze until your next party!
