Beef Liver Pate
 
Ingredients
  • 7 Tbs butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 pieces liver, sliced into pieces
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • ½ cup red wine
  • 1 Tbs lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp white pepper
Instructions
  1. Heat butter in a large skillet.
  2. Saute onions until they start to turn translucent (3-4 min).
  3. Add liver and saute until browned on all sides. When you cut a piece it should still be slightly pink in the middle. (Don't overcook - that's what causes it to get tough.)
  4. Add garlic while liver is cooking. (It only needs 2-3 minutes to cook.)
  5. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Put it in a food processor and add wine, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Process to a smooth paste. Add more salt & pepper to taste. Chill and serve with crackers or french bread.
  6. It's very rich, but pate freezes well, so save some for later!
