Basically cooked liver minced with butter, cream, and/or cream cheese.

Beef Liver

They say that beef liver is too strong for many preparations, including pate (although you can soak it in milk to tame the flavor).

  • 1 lb liver
  • 1 onion
  • stick of butter (and/or cream cheese and/or cream)
  • Cognac, brandy, or vinegar
  • Fresh herbs and/or spices (e.g. allspice, mustard, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, marjoram, zest)
  • Optional: 2 boiled eggs to lighten the texture

Will give you about 6 cups of pate.
