Just like my Mom's!! Schmaltz is not available in my small town or anywhere nearby or online, so I used duck fat instead and it was fine. I garnished with finely chopped coriander, but my Mom used to garnish with finely chopped hard-boiled egg.
Warm regards from South Africa.

This immigrant suggests mam's touch: instead of adding the optional parsley definitely use chopped dill.
And if hard boiled eggs are left over, mix them in a bowl using a fork with (a) a boiled and peeled potato (1 egg /1 potato), (b) finely chopped fresh onion -for taste- a moderate amount, (c) chopped dill and (d) some olive oil.
And if more hard boiled eggs are available, cut them in half VERY GENTLY going through the shell lengthwise, scoop out everything, mix with chopped onion and parsley (or dill), mash with a fork, refill the half shells and fry in a small amount of vegetable oil, mixture face down.

I had never tried chopped liver before, but I wanted to make some for my Jewish friend who missed and craved it. We don’t have any local places that make it.
The recipe was very straightforward and accessible, I gifted it with your suggestions of matzo and rye bread. She said it was so spot on delicious and hit her heart. I tasted it, and now I’m going to be making it for my family as well -It’s so good! We don’t have access to shmaltz, so I used duck fat, the only substitution I made. Thank you for posting this amazing recipe!

I just tried this recipe and love it! Both my grandmothers were Catholic and neither made chopped liver. So I'm comparing this to various delis I've patronized.

In reply to Elayne Lieberman. Yes, I avoided mentioning soaking the liver for that reason.

In reply to 'Chaia Teitelbaum.

This could be Jewish Chopped Liver and not Kosher Chopped Liver at the same time. In fact, soaking the raw liver in milk for about 45 minutes prior to cooking removes the blood and bitter taste from the liver. This step obviously makes the chopped liver not kosher.

Bs'd, this is not Jewish liver. Jewish liver has to be broiled kosher to remove the blood before processing further.
