- A little onion, finely chopped
- Lemon juice, to taste

Instructions:

1. Start by boiling the chicken livers until they are soft and tender. Drain them thoroughly and allow them to cool down.

2. Once cooled, take the chicken livers and rub them through a grater. This will help achieve a smooth and creamy texture for the paste.

6. Gradually add the fat used for frying the mushrooms into the liver-mushroom mixture. This will add richness and flavor to the paste. Adjust the amount of fat according to your preferred consistency.

7. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, paprika, a little onion, and lemon juice. These seasonings will elevate the taste profile of the paste, giving it a well-balanced flavor.

8. Once the paste is well-mixed and seasoned, it is ready to be served. Spread it generously on slices of rye bread, which complements the flavors of the liver and mushrooms beautifully.
