Directions
-
Trim any visible fat or connective tissue from the chicken livers and pat them dry with paper towels.
-
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and foaming.

Add the chicken livers in a single layer and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside.
-
Remove the livers from the heat and transfer them to a plate to cool for about 10 minutes.
-
Once cool enough to handle, finely chop the cooked livers and hard-boiled eggs together using a sharp knife or food processor.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped livers and eggs with the finely chopped green onions.
-
Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
-
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the desired texture is achieved.
-
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, cover tightly, and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld before serving.
