Val's Hungarian Jewish Chopped Liver
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
- 1 large white onion, chopped
- 2 pounds fresh chicken livers
- 6 hard-cooked eggs
- 1 small white onion, finely chopped
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 2 sprigs fresh parsley
- In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium high heat.
- Saute the diced onion until fairly soft.
- Add chicken livers and saute over high heat, stirring frequently.
- When livers are cooked through (no longer pink inside and the juices run clear), remove livers and onions from heat and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Mash livers with a potato masher.
- You will need to use your fingers, removing the membranes as you go (the livers will be quite juicy; be sure to leave the juice in).
- In a separate bowl, mash the eggs and add to the liver.
- Add the grated or finely chopped raw onion and chopped green onions and mix all together.
- The liver mixture should still be warm, and will slightly cook the onions.
- Season mixture with salt and pepper to taste and add at least 1 tablespoon paprika (more if desired, or if you're Hungarian!).
- Add 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.
- Mix well with a large spoon and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- To Serve: Place lettuce leaves on plates, top with chopped liver and sprinkle generously with paprika and 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley.
- Garnish with sprigs of fresh parsley.
- Enjoy!
