Rinse the pork liver thoroughly under cold water, pat it dry, and cut it into small chunks for easier cooking.
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped liver pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the liver and set it aside to cool slightly.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter, along with the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Transfer the cooked liver to a food processor and pulse until finely ground into a paste. Add the ground pork and blend together briefly for a uniform texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the liver-pork mixture with the sautéed onions and garlic, cauliflower rice, chicken broth, almond flour, sage, thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and beaten eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
Pour the liver pudding mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Place the loaf pan into a larger baking dish and create a water bath by filling the larger dish with about 1 inch of hot water. This will help maintain moisture while the liver pudding cooks.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is firm and the pudding is fully cooked through.
Remove the pan from the water bath and allow the liver pudding to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm. Optionally, pan-fry slices in a little butter for a crisp exterior before serving.
