Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs
1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
½ cup schmaltz, divided
2 pounds kashered chicken livers, dark edges trimmed off and chopped
¼ cup brandy
Several sprigs fresh thyme, optional
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Suggested garnishes: chopped hard-boiled egg, crispy shallots, chopped flat-leaf parsley, drizzle of schmaltz

Steps:

  • Bring small saucepan of water with eggs to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and set the timer for 9 minutes. Once timer has gone off, plunge eggs under cold water and cool completely. Peel and set aside. Cook onion in a sauté pan, with 2 tablespoons of schmaltz, over medium heat until medium golden brown and very soft. Add chicken livers and stir to combine. Turn off heat and add brandy and thyme. Turn heat on low (be careful as the brandy might ignite) and cook until all brandy has been absorbed or evaporated. Remove thyme and process mixture plus remaining schmaltz in food processor until creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer liver to a decorative bowl or platter and chill at least 1 hour. Garnish as desired and serve with matzo or thinly sliced rye bread.  If you can't find kashered chicken livers see how it's done:

The Zimmern Family's Chopped Chicken Liver Recipe - Andrew ... image

Andrew Zimmern’s Kitchen AdventuresI developed a passion for eating and learned all about the joy that comes from cooking from my parents and Elizabeth Wakabayashi, the mother of one of my best friends. But the reason I was receptive to their ideas was because, when I was four, five and six, I would spend hours upon hours on a small stool in my Jewish grandmother’s kitchen on weekends, watching her cook for a small army. She always had enough food for twice as many people as required, cooked everything in schmaltz (chicken fat), laid out trays of bread rounds topped with butter and anchovies as hors d’oeuvres and, in general, kicked ass all over the kitchen. I loved watching her cook. For the next few weeks, I'll share some great holiday treats for everyone looking to celebrate the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is a great time to share food with friends and family, and I have received dozens of emails asking for recipes, so here you go. The Zimmern family has been making chopped liver for a century; it’s just that Bubbe used to grind it. My grandmother made this to-die-for dish for every holiday.—Andrew ZimmernPlus: F&W’s Hanukkah Recipes Guide

Total Time 45 minutes

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large eggs
Ice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup rendered chicken fat (schmaltz) (See Note)
1 onion (finely chopped)
2 pounds chicken livers (trimmed)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Matzo (for serving)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, cover the eggs with cold water and bring to a boil; cook over moderate heat for 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and immediately fill the pan with cold water. Add ice and let the eggs stand until chilled. Drain the eggs, peel and coarsely chop.
  • In a very large skillet, melt the butter in 1/4 cup of the chicken fat. Add the onion and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and just starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Season the livers with salt and pepper and add them to the skillet. Cook over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until barely pink inside, about 8 minutes.
  • Scrape the mixture into the bowl of a food processor and let cool slightly. Add the chopped eggs and pulse until the livers are finely chopped but not completely smooth. Add the parsley and the remaining 1/4 cup of chicken fat and pulse to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the chicken liver to a bowl. Press plastic wrap onto the surface and refrigerate until chilled, about 45 minutes. Serve with the matzo.

JEWISH DELI-STYLE CHOPPED CHICKEN LIVERS RECIPE - FOOD.COM
The Jewish version of pate, this rich spread gets a flavor boost from the sweet caramelized onions and the rendered chicken fat. Not a dish for the faint of heart, literally. It's wonderful on little pumpernickel squares with cornichons, but in a Jewish deli you can also find it spread between two slices of rye for lunch. Can be made 1 day ahead and kept in the refrigerator. From the Take-Out Menu Cookbook.
