Ingredients

  • ¼ cup schmaltz/chicken fat or vegetable oil
  • 1-2 medium onions chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound broiled or grilled chicken liver
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat the chicken fat or oil over medium heat. Add the onion, pinch salt and pepper, reduce to low and cook for 30 minutes, stirring regularly.
  • Transfer the chicken livers and onions to a food processor. Add the hard-boiled eggs and pulse until the mixture is smooth and has the desired consistency. Alternatively, place livers on a cutting board and with a large chefs knife finely chop by hand, place in a bowl. Grate eggs over top, add onions and any remaining oil from pan and mix well.
  • Season the chopped liver with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the chopped liver on its own or with crackers or bread. It can also be used as a filling for sandwiches or as a topping for matzah. Enjoy!
  • Chopped liver will keep covered in the refrigerator for 5 days.
