The Ultimate Duck Liver Pate

 Simplest ever dish. A very good option for a starter or a fancy party finger food.


Ingredients:
  • Duck liver - 1/2 pound - 200 g
  • Carrot  finely shopped - 1/4 pound - 100g
  • Fresh rosemary - 1 twig/5g
  • Teaspoon of black peppercorns
  • A pinch(0.5g) of dried basil, oregano and thyme
  • Salt
Mince the liver with a fork. In the process add basil, oregano and thyme. Mix the spices into the resulting mix.
In a mortar crush the peppercorns and add them to the liver mix.
Get the carrot and chop it very finely into minuscule cubes.
Add the carrot into the mix.

Place the resulting mass into a ceramic baking pot, add some salt and cover it.
Place into a the oven at 180C for 15 minutes, cook longer if needed.
Let the pate cool off and serve in small batches with crackers and sun dried tomatoes(assuming that you did not add to much salt)
