Follow The Directions

01

Step

Hard-Boil the Eggs: Gently place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, immediately remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 15 minutes. (Time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Cool and Peel: Drain the hot water and run the eggs under cold water until completely cooled. Peel the eggs and set aside. (Time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Broil the Chicken Livers: Preheat your oven's broiler. Arrange the chicken livers in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink inside. (Time: 6-8 minutes)

04

Step

Sauté the Onion: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. Divide into two bowls and set aside. (Time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Cook the Carrots: Add the grated carrots to the same skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened. (Time: 5 minutes)

06

Step

Process the Mixture: In a food processor, combine the broiled chicken livers, cooked carrots, raw red onion, one of the hard-boiled eggs, half of the sautéed onion, salt, and pepper to taste. Process until relatively smooth.

07

Step

Adjust Consistency: Add the chicken stock, one tablespoon at a time, and continue to process until the mixture reaches a creamy and fluffy consistency.

08

Step

Chill and Serve: Transfer the chopped liver to a serving bowl. Garnish with the remaining sautéed onion and the grated hard-boiled egg. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. (Time: 240 minutes)

For an extra smooth texture, consider passing the chopped liver through a fine-mesh sieve after processing.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Some people prefer a sweeter chopped liver, so feel free to add a pinch of sugar.
Serve chilled with crackers, rye bread, or challah. It also makes a delicious filling for sandwiches.
