Ultimate Keto Carnivore Chicken Liver Pâté

This carnivore chicken liver recipe is rich, creamy, and full of flavor.

Did you know chicken livers are a vital addition to the carnivore diet? While it admittedly isn’t the most appealing to look at and conjures awful flashbacks of when tried as a child, chicken liver pâté can taste delicious when cooked properly and is an excellent source of protein to include in your diet. Not only are livers inexpensive, but they're also a rich source of iron and a variety of vitamins and minerals which may play an important part in improving the nutrient density of your low carb diet. There are a few nice ways to eat chicken liver on a carnivore diet, and this pâté recipe is just one of them! While there are minimal herbs and spices used in this recipe, they are what really elevates the flavor profile of this pâté, but if you are after a strict carnivore diet recipe, simply remove all the plant-based ingredients and season well with sea salt and black pepper (if permitted). The pâté can still be enjoyed straight after blending, but for best results, allow to chill in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight before serving as this will help the texture to firm up as well as allow the flavors to meld together.

What kind of chicken livers should I use?

Try to source free-range and organic chicken livers as this meat comes from animals that have been naturally fed and raised ethically, without drugs and hormones. This type of meat will always be healthier and more nutritious especially on a limiting carnivore diet. Feel free to experiment with beef liver for another variation.

Is alcohol allowed on the Keto carnivore diet?

To a purist, the carnivore diet does not permit alcohol. However, the alcohol in this recipe gets burned out in the cooking process so the brandy used is purely for flavor and may be included on a carnivore diet. Feel free to omit it if you prefer.

What to serve chicken liver pâté with?

If you need some inspiration on how to enjoy this carnivore diet recipe, try spreading this pâté thickly over parmesan crisps for an indulgent snack. Try this Keto parmesan crisp recipe: https://my.carbmanager.com/daily-log?dialog=food-detail:ug:ef37ed67814f4b13a2f0dbb1ef4fe274

Recipe Steps

steps 4

2 h 10 min

  • Step 1

    Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to roughly cut the livers into smaller pieces. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan set over medium heat. Add the chicken livers and thyme sprigs and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned all over.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Add the brandy to the pan (if using, but recommended!). Stir through and bring the pan to a simmer to let the alcohol evaporate. Once the chicken livers have cooked through, remove the thyme sprigs as they are just used for adding flavor.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Transfer the chicken livers to a blender or food processor. Add in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, sea salt, a good grind of black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder (if using). Blitz the ingredients until a smooth and creamy texture.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Transfer the pâté to a serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and leave to chill in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours or best overnight. Chicken liver can be enjoyed warm but the texture will be more loose. Chilling the pate will allow the flavors to develop and the texture to firm up. Serve with parmesan crisps or straight from the spoon!

        You can’t possibly make it last more than four days if you make it right!

        Yes you can freeze chicken liver pate. Wrap the pate well or portion out into large ice cube trays and freeze for up to 2 months. Then just defrost overnight in the fridge.
