Categories     lunch, quick, weekday, salads and dressings

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, smashed to a paste with a little salt
Salt
pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 pound small green beans, topped and tailed
Salt
12 chicken livers, trimmed, about 1 pound
2 teaspoons garam masala (see Note)
2 tablespoons clarified butter, ghee or olive oil
18 cherry tomatoes, halved, optional
6 small handfuls salad greens (about 5 or 6 ounces)

Steps:

  • For the vinaigrette: Mix the vinegar, mustard and garlic in a small bowl. Add a little salt and pepper, and whisk in the oil.
  • Cook the green beans in boiling salted water until barely tender, about 2 minutes. Drain, cool and set aside.
  • Pat the livers dry with paper towels, then season on both sides with salt and the garam masala.
  • Heat the butter or oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned livers in one layer and let them brown, about 2 minutes. Turn them over and cook 1 minute more, leaving them pink at the center. Remove from heat.
  • Dress the beans and tomatoes, if using, with half the vinaigrette, and add a little salt and pepper. Dress the greens with the rest of the vinaigrette, and pile them on a platter or individual plates. Top the greens with the beans, the tomatoes, if using, and the warm chicken livers.

Categories     quick, weekday, salads and dressings

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 whole chicken livers
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 tablespoons corn oil
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoons salt
4 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped parsley, preferably the flat-leaf variety
6 cups diced iceberg lettuce
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Wash the chicken livers under cool water. Separate into halves, discarding the connecting sinew.
  • Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the oil until very hot in one very large saucepan (about 12 inches) or two smaller saucepans. Add the chicken livers in one layer, sprinkle them with half the salt and pepper, and saute over high heat for 1 minute, partly covering the pan with a lid to prevent splattering. Turn, and cook the livers for 1 minute more. (The livers should be pink inside.)
  • Add the garlic and parsley, and mix well. With a slotted spoon, transfer the livers to a bowl, cover and set aside.
  • Place the diced lettuce in a large serving bowl. Add the chicken liver pan drippings, and toss to mix well. Add the remaining salt and pepper and the vinegar, and mix well.
  • Divide the salad among six individual plates, serving 4 liver halves per person. Serve immediately, while still lukewarm.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups water
1 cup brown rice
3/4 pound chicken livers
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup white wine
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped red onion
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
2 tablespoons white or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Bring the water to a boil. Add the rice, lower heat, cover and cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 40 minutes. Allow rice to cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, carefully remove all fat and connective tissue from the chicken livers. Place them in a sauce pan, add broth and wine and simmer gently until they are cooked and still pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Drain and slice the chicken livers. Place chicken livers in a bowl with the green pepper, onion and thyme.
  • Combine vinegar and mustard and add olive oil, beating or shaking until the dressing is well blended. Pour over chicken-liver mixture and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Rinse rice briefly in tepid water. Drain well. Season rice with salt and pepper. Fold chicken-liver mixture and rice together and fold in parsley.
