Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken livers
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 large hard-boiled eggs
- 15 milliliters vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 grams fresh parsley
- 15 milliliters brandy (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any visible fat or sinew, and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 4
Push the onions to one side of the skillet. Add the chicken livers to the other side and cook, flipping occasionally, until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
If using brandy, deglaze the pan by pouring it over the mixture and stirring for 1 minute. Allow the alcohol to evaporate.
Step 6
Remove the pan from heat and let the contents cool slightly.
Step 7
Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked liver and onions to a food processor. Add the hard-boiled eggs, unsalted butter, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth but still retains a bit of texture.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Fold in finely chopped fresh parsley for a pop of flavor and color.
Step 10
Spoon the chopped chicken liver spread into a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 11
Serve chilled with crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
