Liver Paté

I never knew I could like liver until I had paté! Fantastic stuff, especially if you have the right combination of spices and a touch of lime or something sour. This recipe uses the wonderful combination of onions, garlic and ginger that I love so much from Burmese and other Asian dishes. Mix and match spices to find your own favorite combinations–don’t be afraid to use a heavy hand when flavoring it up!

  • 1 lb liver
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1/2 head garlic, pounded
  • 2 inches ginger, pounded
  • fat for frying (lard, olive oil, butter etc)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 Tablespoons ground coriander
  • 1/2 – 1 c butter, soft
  • 1 – 2 limes juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
