Alright, you asked for it. Below are my saved recipes that I've tried or similar to what I've done before.

My thoughts on organ meats:

- Eating them makes sense in terms of whole paleo frame. I doubt cavepeople ate boneless skinless chicken breast :) That's why we like naturally occuring fat or good stuff from joints in our broth.

- All these parts are insanely nutrient dense = good for you. I mean VERY good for you.

- Chicken organ meats are the most delicate in flavor. Beef is for hardcore liver eaters.

- Start by sneaking in some liver into your meatballs.

- When in doubt add lots of onions, garlic and bacon. Or just wrap it in bacon. That's the general rule. Always.

I'm so excited that you posted this! I just placed an order with US Wellness Meats for Beef Liver and Sugar-Free Bacon that should be here next week and I was wondering about ways to make it other than the plain pan-fried. I also bought some chicken livers the other day so I see a nice batch of Liver Pate in my future! ;)

Ouch, I am sorry to hear that. What exactly has happened? Strong taste? Dry texture? Can you specify, please? As I say in my post, straight beef liver is for pro-eaters.

It was a combo of the gamey taste and the chewy texture, mostly the texture. That's why I think pâté could work. I remember tasting it a long time ago and liking it.

Cheers Nadia! I just checked online and people are saying it's ok to freeze it so I've got a Plan B. Though if it's as delicious as the recipe sounds, I don't think there'll be much hanging around :)

Mmhhh 5 days to a week? Mine never lasts longer. LadyM, what's your experience? I know you are a liver pate friend :)

Ditto. And I almost always have some chicken liver pate on hand. It's so great to just grab a knob of it when I get home famished. Tides me over until I can cook a proper dinner. So good. It also is one of the sweetest things I eat these days (what a reversal from my sugar binge days) so it's nice for that reason, too.

I gotta make mine this week! Missed my grass-fed meat farmers' market run yesterday so am desperate for meat. Where do you all get good liver?

Hey-oooooo!

... and turned them into this today:

Waiting for it to set in the fridge but had a taste from the bowl and it's pretty yummy!

Husband was disappointingly undisgusted at the introduction of offal into the house. His comment was directed towards the duck fat: "Can you make me chips (fries) with it?". (We saw fries cooked in duck fat on a Rick Stein episode once, I think eating them is now on his bucket list).

Thank you Nadia for giving me the push to do this. I never, in a million years, thought I would ever attempt making pâté.

Liver love to you all xxx

I think I'm almost ready to jump on the liver band wagon. I'm reading a book on natural fertility and liver is on the meal plan. I think I'm going to start with patte as well. Please ask me about this as I'm still convincing myself. :-)

almost ready? I am a reformed liver-hater, but I still don't love pate. I LOVE meatballs made with ground lamb mixed with lamb liver (I puree the liver with an egg, some onion, parsley or cilantro and garlic+sometimes cumin. that mix makes the binder for the meatballs.) so so good. yum. and it makes me feel really good, maybe from the iron? so much that I crave it. good stuff.

That sounds good too. I'm pretty sure I saw lamb liver at my food co-op last time I was stocking up on meat.

It's right there, in the first post - "start by sneaking liver into your meatballs". Good luck. What do you have to lose after all except of 5$? :P

Pate is not my fav either, I love it, but I love my liver muffins or meatballs more. So many cool thing to mix in.

Good girl! Heart and liver thing is on my cooking list today too.

Hubby is a trooper and will be accepted to the offal crowd :D

Believe it or not, but a year ago I would throw up at the word liver. Stupid me. So many years of NOT eating it. What a waste. Ahah
