CHOPPED CHICKEN LIVERS

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

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Chicken Livers: Fresh chicken livers have a mild flavor and tender texture. Avoid using frozen livers, as they tend to be tougher and have a more pronounced flavor.
  • Soak the Livers in Milk: Soaking the livers in milk helps to remove any bitterness and tenderize them. Be sure to pat the livers dry before cooking to prevent splattering.
  • Season the Livers Well: Chicken livers have a mild flavor, so it's important to season them well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for a classic flavor profile.
  • Cook the Livers Over Medium Heat: Cooking the livers over medium heat helps to prevent them from becoming tough. Be sure to cook them until they are just cooked through, as overcooking will make them dry and rubbery.
  • Serve the Livers Immediately: Chicken livers are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can garnish them with chopped parsley, green onions, or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Chicken livers are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a good source of protein, iron, and vitamin B12. By following these tips, you can cook chicken livers that are tender, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at your table.
