Chopped Liver
I can never order liver at any deli, Jewish or not, because my Grandma's recipe is the best. Hands down. End of story.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb beef liver, sliced
- 2-3 pieces of bread (stale or toasted crispy)
- One large onion
- Oil
- Salt
Directions:
- Excuse all liver haters from the room.
- Wash the beef liver. Salt it on both sides and lay it on a foil-lined baking pan.
- Broil the liver on both sides until fully cooked
a. After about 5 minutes, check it to see if it has browned. Then turn it.
b. Cook about another 3 minutes. Check to see if it has browned.
c. Cut a piece open to see if there is any pink. Cook until there is no pink.
d. Pull the liver out and let it cool. - Chop the onion into smaller chunks.
- Grind (or use a food processor on) the liver, bread, and onions.
- Put it all in a bowl. Mix thoroughly. Add salt and oil to taste.
PRO TIP: If your paste is too liquid, don't panic! Add 1-2 slices of toast through the grinder/processor at a time to stabilize the consistency. Also remember that there is some congealing process once this paste goes into the fridge.
