Chopped Liver

Chopped Liver is a traditional Jewish delicacy, rich in flavor and history, made from sautéed liver blended with onions and seasonings. This creamy spread is perfect for serving on crackers or bread as a sophisticated appetizer.

Ingredients

• Chicken liver - 250 grams
• Onion - 1 medium, chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Unsalted butter - 30 grams
• Hard-boiled egg - 1, chopped
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the chopped onions. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken livers. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the livers are browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
4. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
5. Transfer the liver mixture to a food processor. Add the chopped hard-boiled egg, fresh parsley, and lemon juice.
6. Blend until smooth, adjusting seasoning as necessary. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little water or olive oil to achieve your desired consistency.
7. Transfer the chopped liver to a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers or bread.
