1/3 cup rendered and strained chicken schmaltz
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 cup Josh Russ Tupper's Caramelized Onions
2 1/2 pounds raw chicken livers, gall bladder removed, lobes cut in half, or quarters if large
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 hard-boiled large eggs, peeled and chopped

Steps:

Rinse livers under cold water to remove blood; drain. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add schmaltz and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add caramelized onions. Cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
Add livers to skillet and season with salt. Cook, stirring, until livers begin to brown and insides are pink throughout, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer livers to a plate to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil. Add chopped onions and cook, stirring, until golden brown; remove from heat and set sauteed onions aside.
Place cooled livers and caramelized onions in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until well combined. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in hard-boiled eggs, sauteed onions; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before using.
