- **Note – if the liver is not already broiled for kashring by the butcher you must broil it before using.
Yes sure, it freezes well.
can I freeze already prepared chopped liver
I like a bit of texture so I whirl up most of the cooked livers in the food processor, and then separately, do a quick spin for the remaining liver and all of the onions.
All organ meat needs to be broiled first to be kashered, and yes, some butchers can do that step for you, so you can go ahead and saute once you get them home. In Recipes Remembered, we had two delicious recipes, one from Ina Garten with a hint of thyme and madeira and another more traditional with lots of caramelized onions and chopped eggs. I like using an old fashioned hak messer- mezzaluna- to chop the livers, it gives the finished dish a bit more texture. The nice thing is, there are so many variations, this is a great starting point.
Dorot is a line of frozen chopped garlic, herbs and spices. They come in small red packages like mini ice cube trys so you can use a little at a time and always have it ready for cooking.
Many butchers sell it ready, if yours doesn’t then you probably have to broil it, but consult a rabbi.
Can you put this on the site as a real recipe – http://www.joyofkosher.com/submit-a-recipe/ thanks
What are dorot conions?
The directions state the mixture should be coarsely chopped, but the photo shows a silky smooth pate–?
That looks easy and delish but here is a vegetarian one that everyone LOVES!
