One important ingredient is missing – liver spread.

i will try this later this afternoon..the recipe doesn’t have liver spread maybe because it was substituted with chopped chicken liver.

i think you can omit liver especially if you don’t like liver….i don’t put liver when i cook mine because husband doesn’t like it with liver.
