Living the Autoimmune Protocol way for over 3 years now, has taught me lots. And lots and lots!
Some of it has become second nature – I think my vegetable consumption has at least tripled. I’m religious about reading labels. I know exactly where my meat comes from (I even know the farmers who are responsible for it).
But as much as I personally love liver – and I do, especially liver pâté- somehow I need to remind myself to eat it more regularly. I’m not exactly sure just why this is. Liver is so easy to prepare.
And I know how good liver is for me, too…
Do you know just what a nutritional powerhouse liver is?

Sarah Ballantyne, The Paleo Mom herself, recommends incorporating organ meat into your diet at least twice per week.
Liver is known to be one of the most concentrated sources of vitamin A of any foods. The great Chris Kresser even refers to it as ‘nature’s most potent superfood’. Liver also contains loads of important vitamins and minerals, is an outstanding source of Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 (and other B-Vitamins), copper, potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, manganese, and iron, which is in a form that is particularly easily absorbed and used by the body. These nutrients provide the body with some of the tools it needs to get rid of toxins.
In short, we should be eating more liver!
One of the easiest ways to get this nutrient-dense and strapping protein into our diets is with pâté. I grew up on the stuff (my Mum’s chicken liver pâté is the stuff of legends in our house). But even if you didn’t have regular doses of home-made liver pâté available to you in your childhood like me – this is a really great vehicle for eating liver if you’re a little bit tentative or new to the idea of eating offal.
Pâté allows you to hide the liver flavor behind herbs, spices and other ingredients.
My friend Rachael, from the Meatified blog and author of one of my favorite AIP-friendly cookbooks, ‘Nourish’, is responsible for my very favorite AIP-friendly chicken liver pâté. She calls it her, ‘Ultimate Liver Hater’s Pâté’. Unfortunately for you, since this particular recipe features in her lovely cookbook, you’ll need to pick up a copy (TOTALLY worth the investment, if you ask me!) – if you’d like to make her scrummy pâté number. Or, you can try another Rachael-recipe below.
Pâté also freezes well. So you can whip up a batch (or, two – if you’re like me) and freeze it in individual portions. Rachael’s got a great How to Freeze Pâté post if you’d like a few more details.
Since liver is so good for us, and pâté is such a tasty and easy way to eat more of this good stuff, I’ve put together a comprehensive list of Autoimmune Protocol-friendly and reintroduction recipes. Just to make life a little easier!

Well you girls made my day with this round up. 4 recipes printed and now to get some livers
Miss Amanda – we look forward to seeing the evidence in your Insta’ feed. Did you pick buffalo…?
Where can I buy liver pate??
Hi Ellen – Here in Australia, liver pate from pasture-raised animals can sometimes be found in nose-to-tail butcher shops. It is very important that you check the ingredients – especially if you are on a healing diet.
What a great round up! And I love the quote: “My idea of heaven…”
It has inspired me to be more adventurous with my pate repertoire, Petra!
Glad you enjoyed it, too.
