Ingredients

½ cup butter, cut into small pieces
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 fresh or dried bay leaf
1 pound chicken livers--cleaned, trimmed and patted dry
½ teaspoon ground thyme
1 pinch Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 (12 ounce) loaf Warm sliced baguette or toasted, thinly sliced, sprouted wheat bread triangles
Cornichons, grainy mustard, minced shallots and capers, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and bay leaf and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
Push the onions to the side of the pan and increase the heat to high. Add the chicken livers to the center of the pan and cook until browned, then stir in the onions and season with the thyme, salt and pepper. Discard the bay leaf.
In a food processor, puree the liver and onions until smooth. Pack into a crock and serve warm or cool (press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the spread if not serving immediately). Serve with the bread and garnishes.

Not chopped liver, but a spread that can be a filling for canapes, spread on matzah's or as an appetizer with some slices of tomato. The recipe is from Bonne Rae London. Not a recipe I like but I make it for my husband and others. Sometimes I add extra green chopped onion.

Tips for a Perfect Chicken Liver Pâté:

Choose fresh, high-quality chicken livers. Avoid any livers that are bruised, discolored, or have an unpleasant odor.
Soak the chicken livers in milk for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any impurities and make the pâté smoother.
Cook the chicken livers gently over medium heat. Overcooking will make the pâté tough and dry.
Use a food processor or blender to purée the chicken livers until they are very smooth.
Season the pâté to taste with salt, pepper, herbs, and spices. Common additions include garlic, onion, thyme, and nutmeg.
Serve the pâté chilled or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed on crackers, bread, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicken liver pâté is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or main course. It is relatively easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little practice, you can create a pâté that will impress your friends and family.
