If you're "organ meat-curious" and looking to incorporate this superfood in your diet, this luscious spread is a great place to start! Chicken livers are high in iron and selenium, vitamin A and B vitamins, and the flavor is quite a bit milder than beef liver. In our Pâté, organic chicken livers from Pittman Farms are pan-seared, poached in Straus pasture-raised butter and puréed with caramelized onions, parsley, nutrient-dense Celtic sea salt, Dijon mustard (gluten-free), a few drops of brandy and a touch of spice for a rich, deeply satisfying and nourishing spread that is topped with a thin layer of butter to preserve freshness. One of our most popular dishes, it's perfect on one of our gluten-free breads or the irresitable Cult Crackers -- don't forget to use the butter layer! A forkful or two of our raw sauerkraut offers a bright balance of flavor and a probiotic boost for digestion. Serving hint: let it warm up a little at room temperature before serving.
