Have you ever made a liver pate recipe?  Have you ever had a client ask you for one?

It’s a common question we get since liver is so high in iron and babies require so much of it. It can be difficult for babies to consume enough iron every day (especially since some babies don't eat large quantities of food).  

With liver pate, babies get lots of concentrated nutrients per bite.

For this liver pate recipe, I used chicken liver. I recommend limiting liver consomption to twice per week to avoid too much vitamin A.  

Here's what I did: melted coconut oil in the pan and added apples and allspice and cooked the liver and thyme until the liver was no longer raw. I then put everything in the blender and blended until smooth. Then, I transferred the liver pate into small jars.

Babies can enjoy the liver pate directly from a spoon or on another food item such as a cracker!
