Mel's Chopped Liver

This is an old family recipe of Mel Carr's, one of my brothers in the Long Island Ravens MC, learned at the knee of his mother.  Very easy to make and a party favorite.

Recipe

• One container of chicken livers
• Three eggs
• 1-Tablespoon olive oil
• 1-Medium size sweet onion, sliced (for sauté)
• 1-Medium size sweet onion, diced (keep raw)
• Celery, diced (keep raw)
• One package onion soup mix
• Salt and pepper
• Mayonnaise (about 1 tablespoon)

In the same pot, boil chicken livers and eggs (shells on) in lightly salted water until chicken livers are well done and eggs very hard (perhaps 15 minutes).  Strain and cool.

Sauté sliced onion in a little olive oil until slightly caramelized (a light brown).

In a bowl, chop chicken livers and eggs (peeled of course) with sharp knife, add sautéed onions and onion soup mix; blend.  Then add raw diced onion and celery.  Blend with a little mayonnaise until the proper consistency.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

Let mixture rest in the refrigerator for an hour or more before serving.

Serve with party crackers.  Yum. Yum!
