Snack of the day! Chopped liver paté smeared ont Snack of the day! 
Chopped liver paté smeared onto pork rinds and topped with cornichons! This may seem like an unlikely, (and un-kosher) combination at first, but the pork rinds add a nice crunch without distracting too much from the chopped liver, and the cornichons add just the right amount of salty bite. @saveurmag has a terrific recipe for chopped liver.

I originally came up with this idea for the @foodnetwork. The recipe for refried beans is included in my cookbook Taste of Tucson, which has lots of Sonoran/Mexican recipes inspired by my Jewish upbringing.
