SIMPLE, DELICIOUS CHOPPED CHICKEN LIVER PATE
This chopped liver is is so easy, yet so simple to prepare. My family always looks forward to Passover dinner, because they know I'll be serving it with matzo crackers. It's also delicious on bagels the rest of the year. The pinch of sugar keeps the liver from having any bitter taste and makes such a difference when you use it.

Tips:

- Clean the livers thoroughly: Remove any connective tissue or green spots from the livers. This will help to prevent a bitter taste in the pâté.
- Cook the livers gently: Overcooking will make the livers tough and dry. Cook them over medium-low heat until they are just cooked through.
- Season the pâté well: Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the pâté. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion.
- Chill the pâté thoroughly: This will help the flavors to develop and will make it easier to serve.
