Every year during the winter holiday season, I enjoy making dishes to celebrate the holiday traditions. One my favorite dishes for these occasions when I was growing up was Chicken liver pâté. In our family recipe for chopped liver, butter is the secret ingredient that makes this pâté creamy, rich, and really delicious.
I am sending this recipe for the Family Recipes: Memories of Family, Food and Fun December Roundup hosted this month at Lynda's Recipe Box.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 pound chicken livers
3 hard-boiled eggs
2 sticks of butter
Salt to taste
bread, such as baguette, sliced
Directions:
Heat oil in a skillet. Add onions and fry until they turn golden. Meanwhile, cook livers in boiling water for about 10-15 minutes. Drain and cool.
In a food processor, mix onions, livers, eggs, and butter until mixture is smooth. Season with salt to taste.
Refrigerate for couple of hours before serving. Spread a thin layer on fresh or toasted bread slices.
