  YUMMY

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  It was great---just saw it today when I was thinking of making SPANISH chicken livers with sherry. So you see, Karen, neither Martha or Ina stole it from each other. It's an old Jewish recipe ---possibly Spanish Jews.

  Very similar to Martha Stewart's recipe

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  Frankly, I don't see much difference between Ina's recipe and Martha Stewart's recipe, other than a change in the type of wine (Martha's recipe calls for Marsala) and the amount of schmaltz used. Otherwise, this is the same recipe. I wonder who stole it from whom.

  Great Recipe !!!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This was spectacular. I couldn't find the rendered chicken fat and didn't have time to make it so I substituted butter and it was great. It 's very flavorful and rich tasting. My guests loved it. Another sure thing from Ina.

  The best chicken liver receipe

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  My husband saw Ina make this a few days ago and couldn't wait for us to try it. It is wonderful, and I don't much care for chicken livers. We also substitued olive olive for chicken fat and brandy for Madeira, as we had neither on hand. Will definately make this again when we have all the ingredients in the original receipe.

  Your mother in law will not know what to say!!!!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  OK....This is...by far, the BEST chopped liver recipe around - hands down. If my two year old loves it - it has to be good!!! So I did a little variation, instead of the Schmaltz (Chicken fat) I use olive oil, and it comes out wonderful. I dont' know..Something about using that much chicken fat didn't make me feel good, so I substituted Olive oil and used about three TSP's total. I also used shallots instead of onions. it's a little more delicate AND I substitued Port for Madiera wine - only 'cuz I didn't have madiera. It turned out beautifully!!! I get rave reviews when my husbands jewish mexican family come over......!!! Ina - you did it again!!!! Thank you!!!!

  Food for the gods!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I grew up on chopped liver with chicken shmaltz. The fragrance of the rendering fat was wonderful. However, whenever I made it myself I used Wesson oil or something similiar. Who heard of EVOO at that time? It was always the hit of the buffet table. I would never, in a million years, use butter.

  Consider Healthy...

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  You can substitute chicken fat with butter. Also, for those who still think that this recipe is a complete failure health wise does not know that yolk, according to recent research, has some benefits + we all should know that egg white is all protein, on top of that liver is high in vitamin A... and everything in moderation is good for you. All the negative comments are coming from people who are not familiar with a gourmet food. It is that simple.

  RE: "Seriously unhealthy"

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  Some anonymous genius rated this a 1 star because "a cup of chicken fat is not good." They claimed it was "one of the most disgusting things they'd ever seen on the Food Network" which leads me to believe that they did not even try this recipe or have ever eaten chopped liver (which at the very least should be a prerequisite for reviewing a recipe.) First of all it's the "FOOD" Network not the "HEALTH Network." Yummy isn't always healthy but come on, live a little. It's a side anyway, it's not intended to be eaten by the platefuls. I'm sure this person wouldn't have the same opinion of the fare at Spago or any of Wolfgang Pucks dishes which tend to be loaded with sticks of butter, heavy cream and fat, fat, fat of all kinds! Even his canned soups are fattening and unhealthy. I must say that I have not made this particular recipe myself but based on the ingredients and prep. I'm giving it 5 stars anyway. If you like chicken liver give it a try, the diet will still be there tomorrow:) You might cut the recipe in half (or more) as an idea, so you won't be tempted to eat too much of it. Bon Appetit!

  It was like a french pate

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I made it for my husband who is french and he loved. It is even better the next day. I did have trouble finding the chicken fat so I used duck fat that I got at whole foods. You have to ask the butcher for it and sometimes only one guy will know about it. It was really cheap. I think it made it even better though. I also only used 1 pound of chicken livers and not quite all the fat. It still made a ton.

  Delicious

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This is by far the most delicious artery putty we have ever eaten. To the health nut, yes, it is high in fat and cholesterol but you're not going to eat it every day. All things in moderation...It is the best thing EVER!!

  The best

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I make this often but with a few changes. I do not use the chicken fat. I use a stick of butter, more of the booze 1/2 c and 2 cloves of garlic minced Very good.

  seriously unhealthy

  Rated: 1 stars out of 5

  Traditional does not always mean good. A cup of chicken fat is not good. This was one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen on the Food Network.

  Delious

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I've made this 2 or 3 times and taken it to parties, a big hit! It makes ALOT so I cut the recipe in half and still have some to freeze in small containers (freezes well for a couple months). You'll need to save (in the freezer) a lot of chicken fat and skin to render down to make chicken fat (once made it keeps well in the freezer), I can't buy in my area. Try it!

  Reminds me of NY

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This is the most delicious and easiest recipe for chopped liver. Growing up in NY this was a favorite deli snack. I've tried a few other recipes that were either too troublesome or had no flavor. This one is simple to make and it gets rave reviews when I make it for friends.
