AMAZING GARLIC CHICKEN LIVERS

CHICKEN LIVER WITH ONIONS

Steps:

• Wash the chicken livers, get rid of the fat if it has and cut them to half. Pat dry with kitchen paper. Cut half the onions and slice them. Slice finely the bacons.
• Take a big frying pan, heat the oil and butter put the sliced bacons and fry until it is golden. Then you can add the sliced onions and stir fry for another few mins until gets tender.
• You can turn down the heat now and add the chopped tomato (for the juice), and the livers. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 5 mins. Careful the livers can splash if they are wet!
• Check and stir the livers. You can add the crushed black pepper, the wine and the majorams. Cook for another 4-5 minutes. Wait with the salt! It goes only at the end!
• (You can strenght the flavour of the majorams if you crumble them)
• You will see a kind of stew in you pan. Now you can turn up the heat again and stir the stuff and let it thicken a bit. Now it is time to check the livers. Stab them with a knife. If there's no blood coming out from the liver, it means they are ready. Do not overcook the livers, they become hard.
• If the liver is soft and ready, you can turn off the heat and add the rest of the majorams and season with the salt. Salt must be the last one for the liver!
• To serve, you can make boiled rice or serve with fresh white bread. If you have fresh parsley at home, you can chop a littre for dressing. I can assure your family will like it! You can try it with a little pickles too.
• Good apetite!

CHICKEN LIVERS WITH RED-WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat half the butter in a heavy saucepan and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until they start taking on a little color. Add celery, carrots and half the garlic. Cook briefly, stirring, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon flour. Stir to blend.
• Add wine, broth, thyme, bay leaf, parsley sprigs, salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Let simmer 20 minutes. Line a sieve and pour in the sauce. Strain, pushing through as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. There should be about 1/4 cup.
• Meanwhile, pick over the livers, cutting away and discarding the connecting membranes. Cut the livers in half and then into quarters. Drain thoroughly in a sieve.
• Blend the remaining 1 cup of flour, salt, pepper and half the sage. Dredge the liver pieces in the mixture and shake off excess. Line a large mixing bowl with a large sieve and have it ready for draining the livers.
• Heat about one-third of the oil in a heavy skillet. When it is hot add one-third of the livers. Cook, turning the pieces so that they brown evenly. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until brown and crisp on the outside. Drain.
• Add another third of the oil. When it is hot add another third of the livers. Repeat, draining the livers as necessary and cooking until they are all brown and crisp on the outside.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a casserole and add the remaining tablespoon of sage and remaining half teaspoon garlic. Cook briefly and add the sauce. Bring to a boil and let simmer about 1 minute. Add the livers and cook to heat thoroughly. Stir in chopped parsley and serve.

SAUTéED CHICKEN LIVERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Put the raisins in a bowl with warm water to cover, so they plump up for a few minutes.
• Slice the onions in half and then crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick half moons (see photo, page 28). Put 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 of butter in one of the skillets and set it over medium heat. As the butter melts, stir in the onions, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and drop in the bay leaves. Shake the pan and turn the onions as they heat and start to sizzle, then lower the heat slightly and cook the onions slowly as they gradually wilt and start to color, stirring and tossing them occasionally.
• After 15 minutes or so, when the onions are deep gold all over, raise the heat a bit, pour in the vinegar, and cook for a minute, stirring the onions in the vinegar as it steams and evaporates. Drain the raisins, and gently squeeze out the excess liquid; scatter them in the skillet and toss together with the onions. Now lower the heat, and continue cooking the onions until they're as dark and caramelized as you want them be. Turn off the heat, and let the onions rest in the hot pan.
• While the onions are cooking, clean the livers (I do this on paper towels): with a paring knife remove all the fat, veins, and membranes, and slice the livers into separate lobes. Rinse them well, then pat dry with fresh paper towels. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and grind pepper on all surfaces of the livers.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 of butter in the second skillet, over medium-high heat, until the butter is melted and foaming. Before the butter begins to color, lay the livers in the pan, without crowding them. With the heat high, cook the livers for 2 minutes or a bit more, until they're browned and crisped on the underside, then turn them over (in the order in which you put them in the pan). Cook about 2 minutes on the second side, until they are nicely crisped all over, and lift them-a couple at a time-with a spider or slotted spoon; let the oil drain off, and place them in the first, warm skillet, next to the onions. Don't overcook the livers: they should still be slightly pink inside when you move them. Taste a piece and season with more salt and pepper if you want.
• If you will be serving right away, heap the onions on top of the livers, then spoon onions and liver together onto warm serving plates. If serving is delayed, leave the onions and livers in separate parts of the pan so the livers don't get soggy. Smother the livers with onions when you serve.

CHICKEN LIVERS IN RED-WINE RHUBARB SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until fat is rendered and discard the bacon. Season the flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Dust the chicken livers with the flour. Increase the heat slightly and add to the skillet. Saute until browned on the outside but still pink in the center, about 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
• Add 1 cup of the rhubarb compote and the wine to the skillet and deglaze the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the chicken livers among 4 plates and spoon the sauce over them. Divide the remaining compote among the plates and serve immediately.
