Deer Pâté! Trigger warning for blood...

My recipe:
1 venison liver
1 pint buttermilk
1 shallot, diced
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/2-1 tbs rosemary (depends on taste)
1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 tbs kosher salt
1/2 tsp five spice
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1/3 cup brandy
1/4 cup cream
2 tbs butter for the pan, plus 6 tbs melted butter for the puree
Prepare the liver and soak it in the buttermilk for a while--I did it for 5 hours, you can do it overnight if you care to (you might have to change out the buttermilk if it gets too bloody). Cut into smaller pieces, rinse, and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbs butter in a cast iron skillet and sweat the shallots. Add the garlic and the liver. Cook for a few minutes on medium and then add the rest of the spices. Cook for a few minutes more and then add the brandy. Cook for about 16 minutes total (my internal temp read as 158, which is safe). Take off the heat and let sit for about 20 minutes. Process in a cuisinart, slowly pouring in the cream and the rest of the butter (melted). Process until fairly smooth. Work through a sieve to achieve an even smoother texture.
