Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan and lightly saute chicken livers until just pink in the center.

  2. In a separate saucepan, sauté the chopped bacon for a few minutes and then add the onion and garlic. Continue cooking until until the onion is slightly caramelized and the bacon is cooked through.

  4. Transfer to a food processor and blend until very smooth. Taste. Add sea salt and pepper if needed and pulse the food processor a few times to mix.

  5. Transfer chicken liver pate to a small, glass bowl with a lid and chill for 1-2 hours until set.

  6. Serve on crackers, toast, or as an easy sandwich spread.
