A rich and savory pâté made from beef liver, seasoned with local spices and often served with traditional bread or crackers. It's a testament to utilizing all parts of an animal, a common practice in Botswana.
🧂 Ingredienser
- 500 g Beef liver(trimmed of sinew and membranes)
- 1 large Onion(finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 100 g Butter
- 1 tsp Curry powder
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Brandy or Sherry(optional)
👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
Melt 50g of the butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2
Add the minced garlic, curry powder, and cumin to the pan. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add the trimmed beef liver to the pan. Cook for about 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center. Avoid overcooking.
- 4
If using, add the brandy or sherry and let it simmer for a minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- 5
Remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the liver mixture to a food processor. Add the remaining 50g of butter, salt, and pepper.
- 6
Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- 7
Spoon the pâté into ramekins or a serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
- 8
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm, before serving. Serve with phaphatha (Botswanan flatbread), crackers, or toasted bread.
💡 Professionelle Tips
- ✓Ensure the liver is thoroughly trimmed of any tough membranes or green parts for a smoother texture.
- ✓Do not overcook the liver, as this will result in a grainy pâté.
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of beef broth while processing.
- ✓If you don't have brandy or sherry, you can omit it or use a splash of red wine.
