Chatelaine Triple Tested

Deli hotshot Zane Caplansky mans the window of his super-popular roadside attraction, the Thunderin' Thelma food truck.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups olive oil, or schmaltz (rendered chicken fat)

  • 1 1/2 cups sliced onions

  • 450 g chicken or beef liver, outer skin and veins removed

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 hard-boiled egg, peeled

Instructions

  • HEAT a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Add 2 tbsp oil, then sliced onions. Cook until starting to soften, about 3 min. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir occasionally until brown, 15 to 20 more min. Transfer to a small bowl.

  • ADD remaining 1/4 cup oil to pan and increase heat to medium. Season liver with salt and pepper and cook until still slightly pink in the centre, 2 to 3 min. Transfer to a food processor along with egg. Pulse until combined but still chunky. Scrape into a bowl and stir in reserved onions.

  • WIPE same frying pan with paper towel and return to heat over medium. Add salami and cook until warm, 1 min per side. Generously spread 4 slices of rye with chopped liver. Top each with 2 slices salami, then some red onion rounds. Drizzle with mustard. Sandwich with remaining bread and serve with pickles on the side.
