Down with fua gras and jamón at exorbitant prices! Give me homemade ham and homemade beef liver pate! I am completely partial to pates. Homemade chicken liver pate, pork liver pate, beef liver pate, oven-baked rabbit pate - this is not a complete list of our “specialties”. This is not to say that you can eat liver pate often - this dish is quite high in calories. For those who are on a diet and watching their weight, but do not want to deny themselves the pleasure of eating a canapé or toast with something tasty, I have a recipe for dietary beef liver pate. Let's start, perhaps, in order.

Benefits of beef liver pate

Beef liver pate should be added to the daily menu, taking into account the following beneficial properties:

  • Beef liver is not only an essential product rich in protein, but also a source of folic acid and iron.
  • Liver by-products are recommended by nutritionists in the daily diet as a light snack that does not burden the stomach with work.
  • For pregnant women and young children, protein from the liver will be an excellent alternative to protein from meat, which takes a long time to digest and sometimes provokes allergic attacks.
  • The low calorie content of liver pates is suitable for nutrition for athletes and people in the postoperative period.

Nutritionists recommend paying attention to offal because of the large amount of selenium, calcium and magnesium they contain. They have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the stomach, help cope with diseases, activating the body's protective functions. Calcium, potassium and copper are involved in hematopoiesis processes.

The lack of hemoglobin during pregnancy and after childbirth can be easily compensated if you eat about 100 g of liver in any form every day.

Among the useful qualities, we can also note some minor disadvantages in the cooking technology:

  • Excess fat in the finished product increases the amount of cholesterol.
  • Elderly people are not recommended to consume pate in large portions daily: this can cause problems with the liver and negatively affect the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

How to cook in a slow cooker

Beef liver pate can also be prepared in a slow cooker.

Required Products:

  • 200 grams of cream;
  • 500 grams of liver;
  • one onion;
  • small package of butter;
  • salt and black pepper.

Cooking process:

  1. In a multicooker cup you need to put about half a package of oil, then diced onion and fry it for about 15 minutes without closing the lid. The general cooking mode should be “Baking”, and the time should be 40 minutes.
  2. While the onion is cooking, prepare the liver: wash it, chop it and add it to the bowl. Cook everything together for another 15 minutes.
  3. We also pour cream and spices here. Keep it on for another 10 minutes.
  4. All that is left is to grind the products through a meat grinder or food processor, mix with the oil that is left and put it in the refrigerator.

Cooking secrets

Beef liver pate will turn out to be a tender and tasty dish that everyone at home will appreciate if you know the secrets of cooking.

Before preparing the liver, you need to not only wash it, but carefully examine it in cross-section under bright light. Traces of bile and large blood clots may remain in the ducts, which will spoil the taste of the finished product. Now about the cooking secrets that will make the dish not only tasty, but also help preserve its beneficial properties.


Liver pate recipe

  • The best pieces are those from the edge. They are the most tender, cook faster, and are perfect for frying in a pan.
  • Externally, the liver should be red-brown in color, elastic to the touch, without depressions or convex lumps.
  • Don't forget to remove the films before cooking. This point can be neglected, but the liver will be hard after boiling or frying.
  • Cold water with soda or milk will help remove the specific smell and make the beef liver softer.
  • Liver pates are best eaten cold. There will be enough fat from the beef liver to keep it from completely congealing.
  • Fragrant spices, garlic and onions best complement the taste of the finished product.
  • If you boil the liver for 7-8 minutes in salted water, it will become softer for frying and the cooking time will be halved.

Beef liver pate is not only a wonderful appetizer on soft bread. A roll cut into appetizing slices with sprigs of herbs and a thin pattern of butter will be the main dish on the holiday table. It is served in most European countries with wine as a separate dish.

Homemade dietary liver pate

The recipe for homemade liver pate, which I want to share today, is really simple (even a beginner can prepare it), and the dish turns out very tasty. At the same time low-fat and dietary. Therefore, liver pate fits perfectly into the concept of my “Cooking extremely simply” section.

I assume that in the comments there will be reproaches: you, Tanya, don’t eat meat, why are you offering it to us? I will answer right away.

First of all, I have someone to cook for. And secondly, I myself don’t eat meat often, but I eat it about twice a month. Do you remember that I once even told you about my favorite recipe for chicken wings and how to salt salmon? I do not consume dairy products in any form (please note that my recipe for liver pate does not contain butter). I also told you why I stopped consuming milk and dairy products and recommend it to you.

But that’s not about that now.

So, how to prepare dietary beef liver pate at home?

We will need two saucepans, a frying pan, a meat grinder and the following ingredients:

  • Beef liver is an average piece, weighing a little less than a kilogram. As with all my recipes, the exact weight and proportions are not particularly important. Either way it will turn out delicious. Instead of beef liver, you can use chicken liver. But with beef, in my opinion, it tastes better.
  • Carrots – 3-5 larger pieces.
  • Onions – 1-2 pieces.
  • Vegetable oil – 1-2 tablespoons.
  • Salt, spices.

The liver needs to be washed and cooked in large pieces. I don’t use any preliminary film removal, stripping or cutting. I just cook without bothering. When cooking, you can add allspice peas (3-4 peas) - but not necessarily.

We check the degree of readiness during the cooking process by piercing it with a knife or skewer. The liver should be completely cooked. There should be no blood or juice released.

At the same time, in another saucepan, cook all our carrots (in their entire unpeeled form) until tender.

Let the liver and carrots cool. Remove the skin from the carrots. Cut the liver into cubes of the size that will fit into your meat grinder.

We are approaching the finish line. Peel and chop the onion. The size doesn’t matter - you’ll still end up running it through a meat grinder.

Place the frying pan on low heat, pour in vegetable oil, add the onion and lightly sauté it. No need to fry too much. Remove from heat.

Final stage. We scroll everything together through a meat grinder. And boiled liver, and boiled carrots, and sauteed onions with the oil in which you sautéed them.

Salt and pepper to taste, add seasonings (I like to add coriander). But you can get by with just salt. It will still be delicious!
