Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 tablespoons rendered chicken fat (following recipe)
2 cups sliced onions
1 pound chicken livers
3 hard-cooked eggs
Cracklings left from rendering chicken fat (following recipe)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Melt all but one tablespoon of the chicken fat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the onions and saute over medium-low heat until they are golden and just beginning to brown around the edges. Stir the onions frequently so they will cook evenly. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside in a dish, draining as much of the fat as possible back into the pan.
  • Trim the chicken livers of any connective tissue or membranes and pat them dry with paper towels. Saute the livers in the fat left in the pan over medium heat until they are lightly browned on the outside and no longer pink in the middle. Remove from heat.
  • Combine the livers, including all the pan drippings, with the onions, hard-cooked eggs and cracklings (if you are using them) in a bowl. Finely chop all the ingredients either by hand, by putting them through a meat grinder or by placing them in a food processor and pulsing them briefly to a medium-coarse texture.
  • Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper and add the remaining tablespoon of chicken fat. Cover and serve within two hours or refrigerate but allow to come to room temperature before serving.

I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to try this recipe. Liver is not my favorite.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now, and it's always a hit. My guests love the creamy texture and the rich flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chopped liver turned out too dry. I think I might have overcooked the liver.

This is the best chopped liver recipe I've ever tried. It's so easy to make and always turns out perfect. I love serving it as an appetizer with crackers or bread.

I'm not a huge fan of liver, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The liver was very mild and creamy, and the other ingredients really complemented it. I'll definitely be making this again.

My family has been making this chopped liver recipe for generations, and it never disappoints. It's the perfect balance of creamy and savory, and the addition of hard-boiled eggs and onions gives it a nice texture. I always serve it with rye bread an
