I cannot wait to try this! Most pates are ladened with only garlic and onion, both of which I cannot tolerate. However, your recipe has a bunch more flavors and seems like it would be great without them…Very excited to grab more liver!
Very interesting combination!
I have been wanting to embrace liver for a while now and I think I just found my recipe! I mean, bacon makes everything better, right?
Thanks!
Definitely, Bacon does make everything better!
I’ve never tried pate before, will def keep this in mind when ever I get brave! 🙂 Looks very nourishing!
This seems like the liver will be very well disguised! Thanks for sharing this.
I may have to give this a try. I know just how nutritious liver is, but I have yet to find a way to actually eat it without cringing! Thanks for the recipe.
I really need to try pate! And bacon makes everything good!
I wish I liked liver….sigh.
Pate is one of my favorite ways to work liver into my diet!
Yum! I will have to try this!
