CHICKEN LIVER TURNOVERS



Chicken Liver Turnovers image

Shortly after I bought some pocket cutters to make turnovers (cuts on one side and then you use the other side to seal the turnovers), I created this recipe as a tasty way to eat chicken livers...which I love. Feel free to subsitute your favorite pie crust for the store bought mix.

Time 50m

Yield 9 med turnovers, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces chicken livers
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, fresh
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 (10 ounce) package pie crust mix
1 egg, beaten (optional)

Steps:

  • In a bag, combine flour, salt and pepper.
  • Shake chicken livers, a few at a time, in bag to coat with seasoned flour.
  • Melt butter in medium skillet, then saute livers, turning until browned and insides are no longer pink (about 10 minutes).
  • Remove livers and chop.
  • In the same skillet, saute onion until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Add cheese, rosemary and liver, stirring to combine.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Make piecrust as package label directs (or your own favorite piecrust).

Place frozen turnovers on a cookie sheet or low sided pan and bake in a 350-400 degree oven for 20-30 minutes until hot. I usually throw them into the oven with whatever else I am cooking, so the temperature & time varies.

CHOPPED CHICKEN LIVERS



Chopped Chicken Livers image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound chicken livers, (preferably fresh)
6 tablespoon rendered chicken fat (schmaltz), recipe follows
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
Freshly ground pepper
2 hard-cooked large eggs, finely chopped
8 ounces chicken fat and/or skin, cut into small pieces
1 sprig fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • Rinse the livers and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Clean the livers, by trimming and discarding any visible fat, green parts, or membrane. Set the livers aside.
  • In a large saute pan, over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the chicken fat and add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the onions to a plate with a slotted spoon. Wipe out the pan.
  • Spread the livers out in a single layer on a sheet pan and season with the salt and pepper. Raise the heat to high, add 2 tablespoons of the fat to the pan and when the fat begins to shimmer, lay the livers in the pan in a single layer. Working in batches, cook the livers turning each over once, until browned, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the livers to the plate with the onions. Repeat with 2 tablespoons fat and remaining livers. Cool.
  • Coarsely chop the livers with a knife (don't be tempted to use a food processor). In a medium bowl, gently combine the livers with the eggs, onions, and remaining 2 tablespoons fat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Serve with toast and cornichons if desired.
  • Serving suggestion: Toasted rye or pumpernickel bread and cornichons .
  • In a small saucepan combine the chicken fat or skin, thyme, garlic, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low to medium heat. Cook until the fat has rendered (liquefied) and the skin becomes crispy, about 35 to 45 minutes. (Adjust the heat, as needed, to keep the skin from browning too quickly.) Set the chicken fat aside to cool slightly. Strain into a small bowl. If desired reserve the crispy skin. Refrigerate, covered, for up to one week.
  • Yields: about 1/2 cup
