Preheat oven to 375 deg. Wash and drain the chicken livers. Remove all fat
and any discolored spots. If you find one with a green area, which is the
gall, throw it away. It would make everything taste bitter. Arrange the
livers on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 375 deg.
While livers are baking, saute the onions in the schmaltz (chicken fat)
until very brown. Peel the eggs and chop them coarsley. Place in a bowl of
food processor,or blender.Add the livers,the sauteed onions,salt and
pepper.Pulse the machine until everything is ground and mixed together.
Serve as an appetizer on a bed of lettuce with chopped onion. AN Aside:
For real down home chopped liver,the whole process should be done in a
wooden bowl, with single bladed chopping knife.
