Chopped liver

Chopped liver

Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cooking Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

2 medium onions, thinly sliced
500 g free-range chicken livers, trimmed
duck fat or kosher imitation chicken fat, (a vegetable fat), for frying
a good pinch ground cinnamon
salt and white pepper, to taste
4 free-range eggs, hard-boiled

Method

1. If you like using raw onion, gently fry 1½ onions in a few tablespoons of fat for 5–10 minutes, or until pale golden. Alternatively, fry both onions.

2. Add the chicken livers and another 1 T fat. Fry until the onions have caramelised and the livers are nicely browned, about 15–20 minutes. Add the cinnamon and season. Allow to cool to room temperature.

3. Mince or process the mixture very carefully (it’s not a pâté) with the remaining raw onion (if using) and two eggs. Check the seasoning. Mash with a fork and add a little fat to bind the mixture if necessary.

4. Turn onto a serving platter and make a shallow layer, pressing down with a fork. Decorate with the remaining hard-boiled eggs, separating the yolks and whites and chopping them very finely, or simply grate the whole eggs. Serve with pickled cucumbers, challah and crisp rye crackers.
