Katz's Chopped Liver

Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef liver, cleaned
• 1 lb chicken liver, cleaned
• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 6 tablespoons rendered chicken fat
• 2 hard-boiled eggs
• kosher salt, to taste
• ground black pepper, to taste

Recipe

• 1 the recipe does not call for it and of course it would not meet kosher requirements, but i always soak my liver in milk for an hour or two. i find that this really improves the taste of liver, especially beef liver.
• 2 heat broiler to high, and place beef livers on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. broil, turning once, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. transfer to a food processor.
• 3 place chicken livers on baking sheet and broil until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes; transfer to food processor.
• 4 heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and add the onions. cook, stirring often, until soft, 10 to 12 minutes. transfer to food processor.
• 5 add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and process until smooth.
• 6 transfer to a medium bowl, cover with plastic film and chill.
• 7 note: if you have a small food processor, cut the cooked beef liver into smaller pieces, quarter the eggs, mix with the chicken livers and all other ingredients in a large bowl, then process in batches.
• 8 note2: i use butter, as i don't usually have schmaltz.
