Recipe Notes
Chopped liver is so simple to make and great to have on hand for sandwiches. I like my chopped liver sandwiches with tomato and very thinly sliced onion on toasted bread.
You do have to be careful with chopping the liver. They can turn into a smooth paté very easily, and (in my opinion) chopped liver should have some texture. You don’t have to use a food processor if you don’t have one. Place the livers and eggs on a cutting board and chop with a large chef’s knife. Place the chopped liver in a bowl and then add the spices. Stir to blend well.
