Indulgent beef and chicken liver pate, perfect for sandwiches or as a gourmet starter.
Ingredients:
  • 4 eggs
  • 1.5 pounds beef liver, rinsed
  • 1 pound chicken livers, rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons corn oil
  • 2 tablespoons rendered chicken fat
  • 4 cups chopped onion
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon rendered chicken fat
Instructions:
  • Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and add enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil, then cover and let it stand for 15 minutes off the heat. Drain the water, cool the eggs under cold running water, and peel once cold.
  • Preheat the broiler in the oven and adjust the rack to 6 inches below the heat source.
  • Drizzle beef and chicken livers with 2 tablespoons of corn oil, then transfer to a baking sheet. Broil in the preheated oven until golden on top, for 8 to 10 minutes. Flip the livers and broil until cooked through and juices run clear, approximately 5 minutes. Transfer livers to a bowl and refrigerate to chill.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine 2 tablespoons of chicken fat and 2 tablespoons of corn oil. Cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the onion is very tender and dark brown, about 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer the caramelized onion to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled.
  • Dice the cold beef and chicken livers, cold onions, and hard-boiled eggs finely until minced. Combine in a bowl. Mix in the remaining 1 tablespoon of chicken fat. Season generously with salt and pepper. Chill in the refrigerator until serving time.
