3368. BACON-BEEF LIVER PATE with ROSEMARY and THYME

makes 2 cups


6 pieces uncured bacon
1 small onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound grass-fed beef liver
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, minced
½ cup coconut oil, melted
½ teaspoon sea salt
slices of fresh carrot or cucumber

Cook the bacon slices in a cast-iron pot until crispy. Set aside to cool, reserving the grease in the pan to cook the liver. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes on medium-high. Add the garlic and cook for a minute. Add the liver, sprinkling with the herbs. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until no longer pink in the center. Turn off heat, and place contents into a blender or food processor with the coconut oil and sea salt. Process until it forms a thick paste, adding more coconut oil if too thick. Cut the cooled bacon strips into little bits and mix with the pâté in a small bowl. Garnish with some fresh herbs and serve on carrot or cucumber slices.
