Jewish Deli-Style Chopped Chicken Livers image

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.

Categories     Chicken Livers

Time 2h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons schmaltz (see related recipe)
1 lb chicken liver, trimmed of any visible fat and membrane
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
2 large eggs, hard-cooked and chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
toasted rye bread
cracker
matzos, and
cornichon, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare the Schmaltz as directed in the recipe. Rinse the livers and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • In a large saute pan set over meidum heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the Schmaltz and saute the livers until browned, turning once, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. They should be just barely pink inside. Don't overcook them or they will be dry. Transfer the livers to a cutting board to cool.
  • Using the same pan, heat another 2 tablespoons of the Schmaltz and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked onions and livers to the bowl of a food processor. Add the eggs, salt, pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons of Schmaltz. Pulse 6 to 8 times, until coarsely chopped. Do not puree. Taste for seasoning and chill at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Serve with toast, crackers, or mazto and cornichons.
