Chopped liver with chickpeas



Chopped liver (healthier version)


It's the excellent recipe, which I will try over and over again. I got the idea from Russian bloggers.


1 pound fresh chicken liver, cleaned and rinsed
2 medium size carrots, peeled
1 medium size white onion, in chunks
2 tablespoons schmaltz (chicken rendered fat), melted, room temperature
1 cup canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed
1 teaspoon lemon juice,
salt and black pepper by taste


Submerge trimmed, whole carrots in enough boiling water to cover. Adjust the heat as needed to keep the water at a simmer as they cook, covered. They will take anywhere from 25 minutes to 40, depending on their size. Drain well. Transfer carrots to a plate and cool to room temperature.
In another pot, immerse the livers in plenty of boiling water, cover, and boil gently until the livers are gray and firm. Drain well. Transfer livers to a plate and cool to room temperature.
Transfer livers, carrots, onion, schmaltz, chickpeas, and lemon juice to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process until smooth paste. Season with salt and pepper to taste, chill. Serve on crackers, matzo and bread.
