Ingredients 

Marinade:

  • ½ lb ground pork
  • pinch kosher salt
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp mushroom powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb chicken liver
  • milk
  • 1 whole shallot, peeled and cut in half
  • 4 cups french bread, torn into one inch pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 whole onion, roughly chopped
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided in half

Fried Shallots:

  • ½ cup avocado oil, or any neutral cooking oil
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Mix all marinade ingredients together and set aside.
  • Soak liver in milk (enough to cover it) for 60 minutes.
  • After an hour, remove liver from milk and wash it clean. Pat it dry.
  • In a small pot, add liver, shallot and enough water to cover the liver. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and let it simmer for 15 minutes. You will know the liver is cooked through when you cut it in half and it’s brown with no signs of pinkness in the center.
  • Soak bread in milk for 30 minutes. After half an hour, remove bread from milk and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan on medium high heat, add oil and fry shallot until it is nicely light brown. Strain and set aside.
  • In the same small saucepan, reserve only 2 Tbsp of the oil. On medium heat, add sliced garlic and fry for 30 seconds.
  • Add marinated pork and fry until it is no longer pink. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In electric mixer, add cooked pork, liver, soaked bread, fried shallots, chopped onions and 2 Tbsp butter. Puree to a paste.
  • Oil a small loaf pan and pour pate mix in it.
  • Scatter bits of the remaining 2 Tbsp butter on top of the loaf. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Place on a roasting pan with water in it. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 mins.
  • Good for 3-4 days in fridge.
