Recently I made a chicken liver pate that was delicious. Then I made a video of it and posted it to my YouTube channel. As I had tagged this video other videos of a similar theme started to appear in my timeline. I decided to watch one of them. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the channel but I really enjoyed the video. It was by a lovely french lady who was speaking English in a French accent.
As the lady shared her recipe I realised I had butchered my liver pate. Therefore I decided to hold my hands up and let you know I didn’t really know what I was doing with liver. That is until I watched the video. It made me realise how food should be treated with care and kindness. Just like everything and everyone on this planet. It’s about being conscious of what we are doing and being able to admit to our mistakes. I decided to try this recipe with a touch of respect this time. The pate was equally as delicious if not better!

Homemade Chicken Liver Pate was a delicious dish. I made this meal for myself and I enjoyed every last bit of it too. As I’m gluten intolerant, I don’t really eat bread of any kind, I decided to make a sweet jacket potato to eat with this meal. It was so tasty. I was also able to freeze the chicken liver pate too. The next time I ate this meal I ate it with chickpea flour wraps and I have also eaten it with sweet potato chips. All the meals I ate with salad. Both of these meals were so tasty. The pate would also be good to take on a picnic as well. You could even eat this pate in a sandwich too. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
