Katz's Chopped Liver image

This recipe comes from Saveur maganize and is the liver spread served at Katz's Delicatessen in NYC's Lower East Side. It is more of a pate or spread than a chopped liver, but what's in a name? Serve with rye bread.

Time 1h

Yield 4 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Place chicken livers on baking sheet and broil until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes; Transfer to food processor.
  • 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.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and process until smooth.
  • Transfer to a medium bowl, cover with plastic film and chill.
  • 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.
  • Note2: I use butter, as I don't usually have schmaltz.
