Introduce the recipe for chopped liver and discuss its nutritional benefits.

List the ingredients needed for the recipe, including chicken livers, onions, hard-boiled eggs, and schmaltz.

Clean the chicken livers by removing tendons and connective tissue using kitchen shears or a paring knife.

Optionally, firm up the chicken livers by placing them in the freezer for 15 minutes before cleaning.

Chop the onions and prepare to caramelize them for flavor.

Heat half of the schmaltz in a skillet over medium heat.

Add half of the cleaned chicken livers to the skillet and sauté for approximately 3 minutes on each side until browned but slightly pink inside.

Remove the first batch of chicken livers and repeat the cooking process with the remaining schmaltz and chicken livers.

Once all chicken livers are cooked, let them cool slightly before transferring to a food processor.

Add three chopped hard-boiled eggs, salt, and black pepper to the food processor with the chicken livers and blend until smooth.

Transfer the chopped liver mixture to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Garnish with the remaining hard-boiled egg and crispy bits before serving.
