Chicken Liver Pâté

Here’s a super simple chicken liver pâté recipe that can be made in 10 minutes and will last a week in the fridge. Organ meats really are the crême de la crême of nutritious foods and a good place to start, if you are new to the organ-meat-game, is with chicken liver. In comparison to chicken breast/muscle meat, chicken liver is significantly more nutrient-dense and beneficial for our health. The flavour is perfect for a creamy homemade pâté which makes a great nutrient-dense protein source for a lunch plate.

Blueberry Chia Compote (or Jam)

This quick and easy sugar-free compote is my favourite thing to have with yoghurt as a healthy dessert.

I recommend keeping the cooking temperature low to aim to preserve some of the antioxidant-rich phytonutrients in the fruit.

Also, making sauces from scratch leads to particularly fresh, delicious meals, and this one gives you a great excuse to eat pasta! Root-to-stem cooking is the way forward.
