Heart Attack On A Plate Recipes

MIRJ'S HEART-ATTACK-ON-A-PLATE CHOPPED CHICKEN LIVER

Steps:

• Cook the livers until done in any way you prefer.
• I grill them under the broiler.
• Chop the onions medium-coarsely and fry in the oil until browned, but not burnt.
• You have to babysit the onions, constantly stirring, so they don't burn.
• This can take some time, pull up and chair with a good book, or do other things but keep an eye (and nose) out for the onions.
• With the steel knife, grind the livers in a food processor.
• Add the hard-boiled eggs and give it another whirl until they are incorporated with the liver.
• Add the onions and any extra oil from the bottom of the pot.
• Scrape every last bit of onion into the food processor bowl, this is where the major flavor comes from.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• You can also add any other spices that you like, but this detracts from the traditional flavor of Jewish chopped liver.
• Whirl everything around in the food processor until it reaches the consistency you want.
• Some people prefer it coarse, some like it very fine, almost pate-like.
• Scrape the chopped liver into a serving bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
• Serve with crackers or challah.
• Try to avoid the temptation to just shovel it into your mouth with a spoon directly from the bowl.

DAVE'S HEART ATTACK ON A PLATE

Steps:

• Pound the beef as thin as possible without creating holes. Cut into 3x3 inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place a spoonful of onions and bacon on each piece of meat. Wrap each piece into a tight ball and secure with toothpicks.
• Heat olive oil in a medium sized sauce pan. Brown the meat in batches and set aside.
• Deglaze the sauce pan with the wine. Scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the pan to get all the flavor.
• Add the garlic, beef broth, and liquid smoke to the sauce pan. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Return meat to the sauce pan and allow to simmer for at least 2 hours. The longer the better!
• Serve the meat over rice with some of the cooking juices.
