Pâté with Cucumber “Chips”

Servings: Makes about 2 cups

Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

6 tablespoons olive oil
1 packet of organic chicken livers (about 1 pound), trimmed (remove the sinew parts with kitchen shears) and rinsed
¼ cup cashews or macadamia nuts
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried)
Salt and pepper
Cucumbers, sliced into rounds, for serving

Directions

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over gentle heat. Add the chicken livers, nuts, onion, and garlic and sauté gently until cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Add the thyme and transfer everything to a food processor. Process until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes (it takes a little longer to get the cashews really smooth). Add salt and pepper to taste, and process to combine well. Transfer the mixture to a container (with lid) and store in the refrigerator. It will thicken as it cools.

As a snack, serve ⅓ cup of pâté with 6-8 sliced cucumber “chips.”
