- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE CHOPPED-LIVER A "23 May 86" 1986
- .RZ "CHOPPED LIVER" "Chopped liver just like Mom used to make"
- This is
- .B NOT
- liver pate; it's chopped liver. And lots of folks who claim to hate liver
- love this stuff.
- .IH "serves 4"
- .IG "1 lb" "chicken livers" "500 g"
- .IG "1" "onion"
- (large)
- .IG "2" "garlic cloves"
- .IG "3 Tbsp" "schmaltz" "50 ml"
- (chicken fat; see note below)
- .IG "3" "eggs,"
- hard boiled
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Melt the schmaltz in a large frying pan. Saut\z\(aae the onions and garlic in
- the schmaltz until the onions are tender.
- .SK 2
- Add the chicken livers, and saut\z\(aae until done. (Livers are done when they
- are no longer red or pink on the inside.)
- .SK 3
- Chop the cooked livers and onions, along with the hard boiled eggs. I
- always chop by hand, using a chopper and a wooden bowl. Regardless of how
- you chop them, they should be farily coarsly chopped.
- .SK 4
- Season with a little salt, and a little more melted schmaltz if things are
- dry.
- .NX
- .I Schmaltz
- is rendered (melted) chicken fat. If you want to make your own (which I
- recommend), get some chicken fat (from the butcher, or from a chicken you
- fix; one chicken's fat is plenty). Put the fat in a frying pan on low
- heat. Stir the pieces of fat frequently; if there's lots of fat, you can
- drain the pan into a container to keep things from splattering too much.
- The fat will eventually melt down to a tough, dry blob (the
- .I griveners,
- which are pure poison, but I love 'em!), at which point you're done
- rendering. The liquid fat is the schmaltz.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 30 minutes.
- .I Precision:
- no need to measure.
