Chopped Liver Italian Style Fegato Alle Uova Sode Food

SIMPLE CHOPPED LIVER

Steps:

• Place the eggs into a saucepan in a single layer and fill with water to cover the eggs by 1 inch. Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, remove from the heat and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Pour out the hot water, then cool the eggs under cold running water in the sink. Peel and chop once cold.
• Meanwhile, heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Place onion on a plate and set aside. Stir chicken livers into the same skillet. Cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. Place chicken livers on the same plate as the onions and allow to cool completely.
• Place chicken livers and onion in a food processor. Process until desired texture is achieved. Place liver mixture into a bowl and season with salt and sugar. Stir in the chopped eggs. Chill before serving.

CHOPPED LIVER ITALIAN STYLE (FEGATO ALLE UOVA SODE)

Steps:

• Using 2 sauté pans, divide the oil or fat between them.
• Add the onions to one pan and sauté over medium heat until they are dark, golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in the other pan, sauté the livers over medium heat until they are medium cooked, 5-7 minutes.
• There should still be quite a bit of pink, but they should not show any signs of blood.
• During the last few minutes of cooking, add the white wine and allow most of it to evaporate.
• Remove from the heat and chop the livers coarsely.
• Reserve the pan juices.
• Peel and chop the eggs (if you use a food processor, pulse them briefly in small batches: you do not want them to lose their chunky texture).
• In a bowl, combine the warm onions, livers, and eggs.
• Add all of the pan juices, salt and pepper and mix well.
• If the mixture seems a little dry, add more melted fat or oil.
• Serve with bread, crackers or matzoh.
