Ukrainian Cod Liver Pate

Cod liver pate is a staple in Ukrainian kitchens nation wide. Like all organ meats, cod liver is highly nutrient dense. In fact, consuming offal regularly is a great way to repair the gut and heal autoimmune conditions.

If you’re someone that cringes at the thought of consuming liver, know that cod liver is truly soo freaking delicious. It’s like a fishier tuna salad. And takes minutes to make.

Ingredients:

(Makes 1 serving)

• 100g or 1 tin of cod liver

• 1/4 of an onion, sweet preferred

• 1 tbsp avocado or coconut oil

• Pinch or two of salt

• Hard boiled egg (optional; omit if on AIP or allergic to eggs)

• Grain free, flatbread or bagel (to serve)

Preparations:

• Finally, diced the onion. Then, oil a pan and sauté the onion until it is caramelized

• While this is happening, you can boil your egg in a small pot of water, if using an egg. Once the egg and water come to a boil, turn off the heat, put a lid on the pot and wait 7 to 8 minutes.

• Remove the egg with a slotted spoon, peel it and finely dice it into pieces.

• When the onion is caramelized, turn off the heat and add it to your food processor. Add in the cod, liver, salt, and egg (if using).

• Blend until smooth. Transfer to a plate and consume immediately. You can also keep it in the fridge for a few days.
