Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 medium eggplant (about 6 oz) -- peeled
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (up to 2)
1 medium onion -- chopped
1 1/2 cups mushrooms (about 4 oz) -- sliced
8 ounces chicken livers
FOR SERVING:
lettuce leaves
egg whites and yolks -- chopped
onion -- finely chopped
crackers
bread rounds
fresh vegetables
To cook vegetables, cut eggplant into 1/2-inch slices and then into 1/2-inch cubes. You should have about 2 cups. In a large skillet (preferably nonstick), heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Saute eggplant for 1 minute. Add onion and saute for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and soft, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms, cover, and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes, or until cooked through. Uncover and saute over moderately high heat, stirring, until liquid evaporates.
To cook livers, rinse livers and pat dry. Cut in half and add to skillet. Add remaining oil, if needed. Saute over medium-high heat, turning, until livers are cooked through but not dry. Remove from heat and cool at least 10 minutes.
To process, transfer mixture to a food processor with the metal blade. Add egg and salt, and pulse until finely chopped but not pureed. Line a 2-cup mold or bowl with plastic wrap. Add liver mixture and refrigerate. (Chopped liver may be refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days.)
To serve, line platter with lettuce leaves. Unmold liver and remove plastic wrap. Garnish top with rings of chopped eggs and onions. Serve chilled with crackers, bread rounds, and/or vegetables.
