Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons rendered chicken fat (following recipe)
  • 2 cups sliced onions
  • 1 pound chicken livers
  • 3 hard-cooked eggs
  • Cracklings left from rendering chicken fat (following recipe)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Method

  • Melt all but one tablespoon of the chicken fat in a large, heavy skillet.
  • Add the onions and saute over medium-low heat until they are golden and just beginning to brown around the edges.
  • Stir the onions frequently so they will cook evenly.
  • Remove the onions from the pan and set aside in a dish, draining as much of the fat as possible back into the pan.
  • Trim the chicken livers of any connective tissue or membranes and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Saute the livers in the fat left in the pan over medium heat until they are lightly browned on the outside and no longer pink in the middle.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Combine the livers, including all the pan drippings, with the onions, hard-cooked eggs and cracklings (if you are using them) in a bowl.
  • Finely chop all the ingredients either by hand, by putting them through a meat grinder or by placing them in a food processor and pulsing them briefly to a medium-coarse texture.
  • Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper and add the remaining tablespoon of chicken fat.
  • Cover and serve within two hours or refrigerate but allow to come to room temperature before serving.
