Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse and drain the chicken livers. Discard anything that looks unusually colored (while not bad, sometimes these can add strong flavors).
  2. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.
  3. Add the onions and sauté until they are golden brown. Remove the onions from the pan.
  4. Add the chicken livers to the pan and cook for approximately 15 minutes, until done. Add more oil to the pan if needed.
  5. Remove the livers and deglaze the pan with a few tablespoons Marsala wine, chicken broth, or water.
  6. Process the livers and 2 hard-boiled eggs by chopping them finely, running them through a grinder, or pulsing them a few times in a food processor.
  7. Return the livers, eggs, and onions to the pan and stir to combine.
  8. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover it, and set it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  9. Before serving, chop the remaining hard-boiled egg and place it on top of the liver pâté.
