CHOPPED CHICKEN LIVER PATE (APPETIZER)
This is an authentic Jewish (not Kosher) recipe for the best Chopped Chicken Liver pate you have ever had. It is actually a recipe of my maternal grandmother, Anna Buhal'tsev (Bell) Mersky, who came from Smela Gubernyia, which is near Cherkassy and Kiev in the Ukraine. A few minor additions were made thru the years.

Steps:
- In a skillet, place 2 tablespoons butter and 1 small thinly sliced onion and sautè until golden brown.
- Add the 6 tablespoons of schmaltz (chicken fat) and mix real well as you crumble the onion slices.
- This is called schmaltz with grieven. I also have a separate recipe posted on RecipeZaar for Schmaltz. See that recipe.
- You can use this right away; however, it is better to make this a couple of months ahead of time and place it in the freezer to cure.
- When ready to make the patè, in a skillet sautè the onions in the peanut oil over a medium flame until golden brown and add the schmaltz with grieven.
- Boil the 4 eggs until hard boiled.
- Add the chicken livers to the pan with the onions, schmaltz with grieven& garlic and cook 2 or 3 minutes until done.
- Add the cream sherry and cook an additional minute.
- Remove from pan and allow to cool.
- In a food processor, gently PULSE the livers and hard boiled eggs into a rough chop.
- DO NOT OVERMIX!
- Add salt, pepper and sugar and adjust as necessary.
