Chopped Liver Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Sauté the Onions

    In a skillet, melt the butter or heat the oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden and soft, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken Livers

    In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high. Add the chicken livers and cook until browned on the outside and slightly pink on the inside, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the sautéed onions, cooked chicken livers, hard boiled eggs, and Tabasco sauce. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Tabasco to taste.

  4. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Transfer the chopped liver to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled with matzo.
