- Cook the livers until done in any way you prefer.
- I grill them under the broiler.
- Chop the onions medium-coarsely and fry in the oil until browned, but not burnt.
- You have to babysit the onions, constantly stirring, so they don't burn.
- This can take some time, pull up and chair with a good book, or do other things but keep an eye (and nose) out for the onions.
- With the steel knife, grind the livers in a food processor.
- Add the hard-boiled eggs and give it another whirl until they are incorporated with the liver.
- Add the onions and any extra oil from the bottom of the pot.
- Scrape every last bit of onion into the food processor bowl, this is where the major flavor comes from.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- You can also add any other spices that you like, but this detracts from the traditional flavor of Jewish chopped liver.
- Whirl everything around in the food processor until it reaches the consistency you want.
- Some people prefer it coarse, some like it very fine, almost pate-like.
- Scrape the chopped liver into a serving bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- Serve with crackers or challah.
- Try to avoid the temptation to just shovel it into your mouth with a spoon directly from the bowl.
