1tablespoonsugar
3hard-boiled eggs

Instructions
Trim the chicken livers and cut in half. For the beef liver, remove any visible membrane or connective tissue, then slice into smaller pieces.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
Spread the chicken livers in a single layer on one pan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
Put the beef liver on the second pan. Sprinkle it with salt. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes, until browned on the outside and still slightly pink in the center. Do not overcook.
While the livers bake, melt 4 tablespoons butter or coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sugar. Cook slowly for 8–10 minutes until soft and golden.
Let the livers cool slightly, then roughly chop. Add them to a food processor and pulse until broken down. Add the hard-boiled eggs and caramelized onions. Blend for about 1 minute until smooth.
Scrape down the sides and drizzle in additional melted butter or oil as needed until smooth and spreadable.
Transfer to a large bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. The flavor improves as it chills.
