Chicken Liver Pate with Hard-Boiled Eggs
Comments: Make sure to use fresh, not thawed frozen chicken livers and chicken fat; do not use any oil nor any other fat. If you are concerned with your cholesterol, simply eat chicken liver pate less often.
Anyway, it is better to eat small servings of this really fat pate and to prepare this pate only on really special occasions.
It is better to chop the ingredients by hand than use any kind of chopper.
