Hooray! I love Erica’s blog and I’ve been looking for recipes for chicken liver, so this is perfect. Great video!
mmmmm…looks nummy!!
What do you eat it with, some kind of primal cracker?
I scoop it up with celery sticks! Primal crackers would definitely work too
Surely using your fingers would be the most primal way… The best part about liver: it’s cheap as chips to buy as people shun “offal”
Many fingerfulls of chopped liver were consumed between takes
It’s good on rye bread or matzo
Sounds yummy, I think I might have to try this one soon.
you’ve got some muscles there
That looks amazingly delicious! I’m in Finland where finding the chicken livers might be harder. How do you think it would taste with chopped beef liver?
Hmmm good question! I think the recipe would certainly *work*, whether or not you like it just depends on how you like the taste. It would definitely work with other poultry livers like duck or goose, and I’ve eaten and enjoyed pork liver pate, but I’ve only ever eaten beef liver as a steak-type preparation. Though I just Googled “beef liver pate” and apparently people make it and enjoy it! So I think it just comes down to personal preference.
Thanks Erica!
Such wonderful recipes from such a beautiful chef. I am impressed.
Thanks – this looks very good, and easy. I once read what ‘scmaltz’ was in the original meaning (chicken fat), but did not know about gribenes, so was interested to learn about it.
I meant to spell it correctly as ‘schmaltz’!
Grieben & Schmalz, a long way from “home”
wow, I’d never heard about this dish, thank you for sharing it. I can’t wait to try it out.
So glad I watched this video- I learned so much! thank you!
