Preparation
Wash the liver, remove the veins, membranes, and any remaining bile sacs.
Heat the pan, add a piece of butter, place the liver in, and fry over medium heat.

We recommend covering the pan with either a lid or a mesh, as the liver tends to "pop" when frying. This is necessary for your safety (to avoid burns from hot oil) and for the cleanliness of your kitchen.
Immediately after placing the liver in the pan, finely chop the carrot and add it to the liver, mixing well.

Cut the onion into large cubes and add it to the pan as well. Reduce the heat and stir occasionally. Fry until the onion and carrot become soft.

While the base is cooking, finely chop the mushrooms. Heat another pan, add a bit of butter, place the mushrooms in, and sauté until they are lightly golden.

Season the liver with the carrot and onion, taste to check if the vegetables are soft. The liver should also be fried to a light golden color.

Turn off the pans. We can proceed to blend the liver-vegetable mixture into a pâté consistency.
перекладаємо печінку з овочами ємність, в якій будемо подрібнювати
We used an immersion blender. Add another 50 grams of butter, a pinch of dried garlic, and an even smaller pinch of ground nutmeg to the mixture. It acts as a stabilizer for all the flavors.

After blending the liver and vegetables into a mousse state, add the sautéed mushrooms and mix thoroughly.

Transfer to the container in which you will store the pâté. In the microwave, melt another piece of butter and pour it over the pâté. This will protect it from drying out.
