2 pounds chicken livers 

1 sprig of fresh thyme

9 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped 

6 to 7 scallions sliced into thin rings 

6 teaspoons kosher salt 

2 to 3 large pinches of pepper

For serving 

Pickled shallots

Sieved egg (a peeled hard-boiled egg pressed through the coarse holes of a box grate or zester)

Directions
