Serves 4 | Prep 15 min | Cook 20 min

Ingredients

  • 500g Organic Ox Liver, finely chopped or minced

  • 1 medium onion, finely grated

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 slice of wholegrain bread, soaked in 50ml milk and squeezed dry

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil or butter, for frying

For the creamy mustard sauce:

  • 150ml double cream or crème fraîche

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

1. Prepare the patties

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped liver, grated onion, garlic, soaked bread, egg, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.

  2. Mix until well combined. The mixture should be soft but hold together—if too wet, add a teaspoon of breadcrumbs.

  3. Shape into 8 small patties (roughly 8 cm diameter).


2. Cook the patties

  1. Heat oil or butter in a frying pan over medium heat.

  2. Fry the patties for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown on the outside but still slightly pink in the middle. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.

  3. Remove from pan and keep warm.


3. Make the creamy mustard sauce

  1. In the same pan, reduce heat to low and add cream, Dijon mustard, and honey.

  2. Stir and simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until thickened slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.


4. Serve

  • Place 2 patties on each plate, spoon over the creamy mustard sauce, and garnish with a few fresh parsley leaves.

  • Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed green beans, or roasted carrots for a comforting, approachable meal.
