Servings: persons

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
1 large white onion, chopped
2 pounds fresh chicken livers
6 hard-cooked eggs
1 small white onion, finely chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
1 head romaine lettuce
2 sprigs fresh parsley

1
In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium high heat.
2
Saute the diced onion until fairly soft.
3
Add chicken livers and saute over high heat, stirring frequently.
4
When livers are cooked through (no longer pink inside and the juices run clear), remove livers and onions from heat and place in a large mixing bowl.
5
Mash livers with a potato masher.
6
You will need to use your fingers, removing the membranes as you go (the livers will be quite juicy; be sure to leave the juice in).
7
In a separate bowl, mash the eggs and add to the liver.
8
Add the grated or finely chopped raw onion and chopped green onions and mix all together.
9
The liver mixture should still be warm, and will slightly cook the onions.
10
Season mixture with salt and pepper to taste and add at least 1 tablespoon paprika (more if desired, or if you're Hungarian!).
11
Add 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.
12
Mix well with a large spoon and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
13
To Serve: Place lettuce leaves on plates, top with chopped liver and sprinkle generously with paprika and 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley.
14
Garnish with sprigs of fresh parsley.
15
Enjoy!
