Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh beef liver preferably organic or grass fed.
- 6 oz shallots 2 medium
- 12 oz buttermilk
- 4 oz butter I recommend Irish grass fed.
- 2 tbsp whisky see ingredient alternatives in the post
- 1 tbsp thyme
Instructions
- Wash, pat-dry and slice the liver into uniform strips or chunks.
- Place the liver in a non metallic dish and pour buttermilk over it.
- Stir the liver to mix well into the buttermilk and leave it for about 2 hours at room temperature.
- Peel and chop the shallots into uniform pieces, either slices or chunks.
- After a couple of hours, remove the liver from the buttermilk, rinse the liver in cold water and pat dry.
- In a pan, add a third of the butter and allow to brown (extra flavor), add liver and shallots and sauté (do not fry, lower your heat to a gently sizzle.)
- When the liver is sautéing, remove the fresh thyme leaves from the stems.
- The liver is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. / 71 degrees C.
- Place the liver and shallots into the bowl of a food processor. Add cubes of another third of the butter, the fresh thyme leaves and the whiskey. Blend well.
- Transfer the Pâté into a ceramic terrine mold, glass jars or any non metal container of your choice.
- Melt the remaining third of butter and spoon over the top of the Pâté to act as a seal. Cover the Pâté and chill for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator.
