Beef liver is a nutritional powerhouse! Small amount of liver provides well over 100% of the RDI for many essential nutrients. It is a source of vitamins A, D, E, K, B12 and folic acid, and minerals such as copper and iron.
I know what you are going to say – liver yuck, I don’t care how healthy it is! Hear me out, the herbs in this beef liver pâté counterbalance the distinct taste of liver. I sneak a few tablespoons of it into meatballs, meatloaf etc. , and even my picky son can’t detect the added nutrient dense magic ingredient.
Always choose meat from pasture-raised animals as it has 2-4 times more omega-3 fatty acids than meat from commercially raised animals.
I like to store the pâté in small 4 oz mason jars and freeze them, I then pull one out per week and use in various dishes to boost their nutritional content.
