Gigi's Chicken Liver

3.0 (1)

David Hagedorn's grandma was called Gigi by her grandchildren. He says this look was passed down to his mother, who took implicit the Gigi moniker erstwhile she became a grandmother.

Because David spent portion of his vocation arsenic a chef, helium of people felt compelled to tweak the dish. The large change: nary much passing the livers, onions and eggs done a nutrient grinder. Using a nutrient processor alternatively changes the mixture's texture, but it makes the task overmuch easier.

Another difference: Instead of utilizing chickenhearted fat, helium uses the duck abdominous that helium ever has connected manus (from making duck confit). That fat, utilized implicit and implicit and frozen betwixt uses, tastes vaguely of cinnamon, allspice, clove, thyme and garlic, which is wherefore David's chopped liver ever tastes antithetic from conscionable astir anyone else's.

He likes to disagreement the substance among respective tiny ramekins: 1 for serving close distant (which doesn't request the furniture of duck abdominous connected top) and remainder frozen for aboriginal use.

Stored successful ramekins and covered with a furniture of duck fat, the chopped liver tin beryllium frozen for up to 3 months.
