Organ meats are among the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.
Eating animal products – and all of the animal – is virtually essential for healing adrenal fatigue and optimal health. It is significantly harder to heal adrenal fatigue if you are vegetarian or vegan. It isn’t impossible but it takes a long time and significant amounts of money to invest in extra products, herbs and supplements to support your adrenals.
The best superfoods to include are liver, bone broth and gelatine. Here's a great recipe for chicken liver pâté. This recipe is gluten free and egg free.
Eating right for you is only one part of optimal health.
Ingredients
- 500g organic chicken livers
- 1 large onion, diced
- 6 medium mushrooms, sliced
- 400g organic butter
- 2 Tbsp port or red wine
- Zest of 1 orange
- 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
- Salt and pepper
- 2 Tbsp cream
- 2 Tbsp fresh herbs e.g. thyme, oregano, parsley
Directions
1. Add half the butter to a medium-sized frying pan. Gently sauté onion and mushrooms on low heat for 15 - 20minutes until lovely and soft.
2. Add chicken livers and port to the pan and gently cook until livers are just still slightly pink.
3. Add remaining butter, orange zest and juice and any herbs, salt and pepper and cook for further 5 minutes.
4. Leave to cool for 5 minutes, then blend all together with cream. Taste and add seasoning if needed, pour into dishes and chill.
Optional: Please note ghee or butter can be melted and poured over the top of the pâté to create an edible 'seal' which keeps the pâté fresh for longer, however, it's not a necessary step.
