Making pate can be a scary experience for some people, but it is really not that hard to make! Our low carb chicken liver pate can be cooked ahead and frozen too, it is a great idea to freeze portions in silicon ice cube molds and pop one out and allow to defrost for 15 minutes before enjoying.
Ingredients for your Low Carb Chicken Liver Pate:
- 3 slices of Bacon
- 8 ounces of Butter
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 pounds of Chicken Livers
- 1/2 cup of Brandy
- 1 bunch of Sage
- Salt
- Pepper
How to make Low Carb Chicken Liver Pate
- Cook bacon in a very large non-stick frying pan until crispy and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
- Add the butter to the bacon fat, as well as the diced onions and fry until the onions are beginning to caramelize.
- Add in the chicken livers and brandy and saute for around 10 minutes, continually turning the livers, until the livers are just cooked through. The residue heat will continue to cook any underdone parts.
- Sprinkle some nutmeg and sage leaves over the top and gently mix in.
- Ladle the mixture into a food processor, crumble in the bacon and blend into a paste.
- Taste the blended mixture and add salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Pour the mixture into your desired airtight jar and leave to cool in the fridge for at least 40 minutes. When your pate is cool, it’s ready to eat.

What could I swap the brandy for please ?
Hi Diane,
You could remove it completely without any issue. If the pate is too thick when blending, just add a little warm water.

We use the same quantity of a really good balsamic vinegar, and the taste is incredible.
This is absolutely the ultimate!!!
Thank you Janet ๐
