Chopped Liver Recipe Chopped Liver Chopped Liver Chopped Liver Recipe Chopped Liver Chopped Liver - traditional recipe for chopped chicken livers with schmaltz and gribenes. Deli-style Jewish holiday recipe for Passover, Rosh Hashanah, or just because. Ingredients • 1 1/2 lbs chicken livers • 1/4 cup schmaltz, divided (see note below) • 2 large onions, sliced (for a sweeter chopped liver, use up to 4 onions) • 5 hard boiled eggs, peeled and diced (divided) • Salt, to taste • Black pepper, to taste • 1/2 cup gribenes (optional - see note below) • 2 tbsp minced fresh parsley for garnish (optional) Recipe Notes You will also need: large cast iron or nonstick skillet with lid large enough to cover, kitchen shears, chef's knife, food grinder or food processor. Makes 3 1/2 cups chopped liver, serving size 1/4 cup. Calories calculated using 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Learn to make schmaltz and gribenes here. Instructions 1. Prepare schmaltz and gribenes ahead of time, or purchase schmaltz from your local kosher market. Goose fat or duck fat can be used in place of schmaltz if desired. 2. Prepare the livers by cutting off any tough pieces or stringy tendons. You should also cut away any pieces of liver that look discolored, yellow or strange. This is pretty much the worst prep job ever, as uncooked liver has a soft and slimy texture, so make sure this step is done by someone with a strong stomach. 3. Add 2 tbsp schmaltz or oil into a large cast iron or nonstick skillet and melt over medium heat. Put half of the chicken livers into the skillet and fry them for 3 minutes on each side (about 6 minutes total). Season the livers generously with salt and pepper as they are cooking. 4. *Note: If you plan to kosher your chicken livers by broiling them prior to making chopped liver, you will only need to sauté them in the skillet for about 1 minute on each side. Koshering the livers cooks them, so there is no need to sauté them for a long period of time. Be careful not to overcook or burn the livers, or they will become dry. 5. After cooking, livers should be firm and browned on the outside while slightly pink on the inside. They will continue to cook internally after you remove them from the skillet; don’t overcook them, or they will turn dry. 6. When the livers are brown and firm, pour them into a medium- size mixing bowl along with the leftover schmaltz/oil from the pan. Add another 2 tbsp of schmaltz/oil to the skillet, melt it, and fry the remaining livers repeating the same process as above. Add the livers and leftover schmaltz/oil from the pan to the mixing bowl. 7. The skillet should now be seasoned with schmaltz or oil, so you don't need to grease the pan again. Add the onion slices to the skillet. 8. Cover the skillet and let the onion cook undisturbed over medium heat for 10 minutes. This kick-starts the caramelization process. 9. Uncover the skillet, stir the onions, and continue to sauté them for another 30-40 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to keep the onions from burning. Ideally the onions should be deeply caramelized, tender and sweet - this is what gives Jewish chopped liver its trademark savory-sweetness. 10. Don't try to speed up the caramelization process, it takes time-- and that's ok. Good things are worth waiting for. When the onions have reduced to about 1/3 of their original size and are soft, sweet, and golden, they're ready. 11. Add the cooked onions to the mixing bowl along with 4 of the diced hard boiled eggs and the ½ cup of gribenes (optional). Season all ingredients generously with salt and pepper. 12. Now it's time to chop all of the ingredients together into a blended mix. There are various schools of thought on the "right" way to chop liver. The old fashioned way is to chop it by hand with a knife, mincing and mincing until it resembles a rough pâté. 13. Another popular method is using a meat grinder. I use a meat grinding attachment on my Kitchen Aid mixer on the fine hole setting. Works like a charm. 14. If you want to take a more modern approach, fit your food processor with a metal blade. Place all ingredients into the processor and pulse for about 30 seconds, stirring once halfway through processing, until a roughly textured paste forms. 15. Whatever method you choose, it's important to taste the chopped liver once it is ground. Add salt or pepper to taste, if desired. Be a bit generous with the seasoning, as the liver is best served chilled and the seasoning won't taste as strong after chilling. 16. Chill the chopped liver in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Garnish with remaining diced hardboiled egg and minced parsley. 17. Serve as an appetizer with crackers, matzo, on rye, or gluten free crackers. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for 6-7 days. Chopped liver can also be frozen and served at a later. Rendered Chicken fat (schmaltz) Description How to render chicken fat and make crispy gribenes cracklings, a classic ingredient in traditional Jewish cooking. Ingredients • 1 lb chicken skin and fat, cut into narrow 1/2 inch pieces • 1 tsp kosher salt • 1/4 tsp black pepper • 1 medium onion, sliced into thin 1/4 inch pieces Recipe Notes You will also need: Nonstick skillet or baking sheet, mesh strainer, paper towels. Makes 3/4 cup schmaltz (liquid rendered chicken fat) and about 1 1/2 cups of crispy gribenes. Serving size is 1/2 tbsp schmaltz and roughly 1 1/4 tbsp gribenes. Note: 1 pound of chicken skin and fat can be obtained from about 15 pounds of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Or, save and freeze chicken skin instead of discarding it in various recipes, then make schmaltz when you have collected enough. While the 1 pound weight is a guideline for this recipe, you can easily adjust the ratio above for less or more chicken skin as needed. Instructions Skillet Method 1. Rinse the pound of chicken skin and fat, pat dry, then chop it into small 1/2 inch pieces. 2. Toss the chicken skin pieces with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place the skin and fat into a skillet on the stovetop (make sure it's cast iron or nonstick!) and turn heat to medium low. Cover the skillet and let it cook on medium low for about 15 minutes. Liquid fat will start to pool at the bottom of the skillet. 3. Uncover the skillet and raise heat to medium. At this point you can add onion, which will give you an onion-flavored darker colored schmaltz, or you can render the fat without onion for a cleaner, purer fat with no onion essence. Most Jewish cooks prefer to render the fat with onion. 4. Let the skin and fat cook for another 15-20 minutes, breaking the pieces apart with a spatula and stirring frequently, until the skin starts to brown and curl at the edges. At this point there should be quite a bit of liquid fat at the bottom of the pan—this liquid is your schmaltz. 5. Remove pan from heat. Pour the schmaltz from the skillet into a container, using a mesh strainer to catch any small pieces of skin. A golden oil will result—this is called schmaltz. It can be used in a variety of Jewish dishes or as a cooking fat. 6. If you cooked the onions as the fat rendered, your oil will be a darker golden color with an orange hue. The schmaltz will stay liquid at room temperature; it will become solid and opaque if you refrigerate it. 7. If you cooked the skin and onion together, return to medium heat and continue cooking in the skillet until the skin is deeply golden, curled and crispy, and the onions are dark brown. Drain on a paper towel and serve. 8. If you did not cook the onions with the skin, you can cook them after the schmaltz is collected. Return the cooked chicken skin and fat to the skillet. 9. Turn heat to medium and sauté the mixture for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Don’t leave them alone for long or they’ll burn! Adjust heat lower as needed to keep from blackening too much. 10. When pieces are dark brown and crispy, remove the gribenes from the skillet with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel. They become crispier as they cool. 11. Gribenes can be snacked on as-is or added to other dishes as a topping. Baking Sheet Method 1. Rinse the pound of chicken skin and fat, pat dry, then chop it into small 1/2 inch pieces. 2. Cut your onions into slices, then cut slices into pieces around 1/4 inch long. 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the chicken skin and fat with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then spread it out into a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. 4. Place baking sheet in the oven and let it roast for 20 minutes, until the skin starts to turn golden and curl at the edges. Fat will have started collecting on the sheet. 5. Add onions to the hot baking sheet, spreading them out evenly throughout the chicken skin.

  • Amelia Answers 5 Questions About the Seasonal
    Five Questions for Amelia Saltsman To paraphrase the age-old question, how is this Jewish cookbook different from all others? We tend to compartmentalize the different aspects of our lives. We have one box for the seasonal, lighter, healthier way we eat today, and another for Jewish food, which is often misunderstood as heavy, only Eastern European (Ashkenazic), or irrelevant to today’s lifestyle. (This box also often holds wistful memories for beloved foods we think we’re no longer supposed to eat.) In The Seasonal Jewish Kitchen, I want to open up all those boxes and show how intertwined tradition and modern life actually are. I’ve read the Bible for history and for literature, but now I’ve mined it for food, agriculture, and sustainable practices, and wow, what a trove of delicious connections I discovered! What kind of surprises will readers discover? First, the great diversity of Jewish cuisine. The Jewish Diaspora, or migration, is thousands of years old and global. Jewish food is a patchwork of regional cuisines that includes the deli foods of Eastern Europe and the bold flavors of North Africa, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and more. My hope is that The Seasonal Jewish Kitchen will keep you saying, “That’s Jewish food? Who knew?” Remember the line from Ecclesiastes about there being nothing new under the sun? The ancient Hebrews were among the world’s early sustainable farmers, and many of today’s innovative practices have their roots in the Bible. Also, the Bible contains quite a few “recipes” that are remarkably current (think freekeh, fire-roasted lamb, and red lentil stew).

  • The Price Library of Judaica Cookbook Collection Currently
    The Price Library of Judaica Cookbook Collection Currently (in 2018) counting over 110,000 volumes, the total extent of the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica dwarfs the hundred-some titles in the Price Library Cookbook Collection. Numbers and quantity, also in this case, should not be understood as indicator of quality, however. The Price Library Cookbook Collection is a kaleidoscope of Jewish foodways all over the world, a sample of the multifaceted Jewish culinary literature worldwide that illustrates the cultural significance of cuisine in Jewish life across centuries and regions. The books in the collection are part housed in the Judaica Suite on Smathers Library’s second floor as well as in the northwest corner of Library West’s first floor, mostly among the Judaica Library reference books. They approach Jewish food preparation in various ways: according to geographical origin, seasons and holidays, and types of dishes. Some are reflecting on historical food ways or present new variations and recipes and others are composed by individuals or collectives, and so on. Naturally, a great divide among these cookbooks is whether they adhere to Jewish dietary rules, kashrut. Most of the community cookbooks ignore these rules, while others offer recipes that abide with fundamental religious prescriptions, leaving it to the reader and home cook whether the execution of the recipes will also abide by kashrut. (For example, one of the basic requirements in kosher cooking is to use kosher meat products, which not only means that the flesh of only those animals that are permitted to be consumed should are used in the recipes, but also that the sourced animals are slaughtered according to the rules of kosher slaughter.) Regarding the interpretation of the dietary rules, however, there are differences depending on geographical regions and historical periods.

  • Shabbat Hagadol: What Makes It Great? This Friday Night We Usher in Shabbat Hagadol, “The Great Sabbath.” It Is the Shabbat That Directly Precedes Pesach
    The Weekly Message of Torah from Rabbi Rheins Shabbat HaGadol: What Makes It Great? This Friday night we usher in Shabbat HaGadol, “The Great Sabbath.” It is the Shabbat that directly precedes Pesach. Some maintain that it was called “HaGadol” (“Great”) because the sermon this Shabbat was frequently a long and detailed review of the laws and rituals of Passover and the Seder. That is, the “greatness” was not the quality of the Sabbath. Rather, it was the quantity, the great length of the service. Notwithstanding the kernel of truth at the center of that bit of folk wisdom, there are other explanations that are worthy of our attention. Rabbi Avraham HaLevi, a 17th century Polish scholar who is also known as The Magen Avraham, wrote a commentary in the Shulchan Arukh. He refers to a midrashic interpretation that maintains that this Shabbat is called “HaGadol” because a great miracle happened. Just before the Exodus from Egypt, on the 10th of Nisan, for some reason the Egyptian task masters did not try to prevent our ancestors from selecting the lambs that would be sacrificed and used the night of 14th, the evening of Passover. On this night, our ancestors began their preparations for their long awaited moment of redemption. The Passover began the evening of 14th of Nisan and was experienced on the night of the 15th, but the miracles that led up to and enabled the Exodus started well before. And so it is that though we will observe Passover with Seders next week in our homes on Friday night, April 19, we know that the greatness of that night depends on the preparation we make in the coming days.

  • Baltimore's Eastern European Jewish
    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: A CONSUMING HERITAGE: BALTIMORE’S EASTERN EUROPEAN JEWISH IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY AND THEIR EVOLVING FOODWAYS, 1880-1939 Charlotte Louise Sturm, Master of Arts, 2013 Thesis directed by: Professor Lisa R. Mar Department of History This study explores how Baltimore’s Eastern European Jewish immigrants and their American-born children engaged with American foodways during the period 1880- 1939. Food-related charitable aid and food education were used as tools of Americanization and moral uplift by public health officials, middle-class charitable workers, and social reformers between 1880 and 1920. The home economics classrooms of Baltimore’s public schools continued this work in the early twentieth century, teaching the immigrants’ American-born children lessons about food and middle-class domesticity. Although somewhat influential in reshaping the immigrants’ food habits, the Eastern European Jewish immigrants and their children largely retained their traditional foodways, making their own choices about how to adopt American foodways. Interconnected issues of food, health, economics, middle-class domesticity, citizenship, and identity are evident in this study. Using sources such as cookbooks and oral histories, this study demonstrates how foodways expressed and continue to express Jewish, American, and Jewish American identities.
