Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh chicken livers, rinsed and patted dry
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
3 to 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more if needed
2 shallots, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1/2 cup homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock

Steps:

  • Remove strings or sinew from livers. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Dredge lightly in flour; shake off excess.
  • Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Saute livers in two batches (using more butter and oil if necessary with the second batch) until nicely browned and still pink in the center, about 2 minutes on each side.
  • Remove livers from saute pan; place on a plate, covered with foil, to keep warm. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon fat; discard. If there is not enough fat in pan, add more olive oil. Add shallots and herbs; saute until shallots are soft and slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add Marsala; simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add stock; simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat, and swirl in remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over livers before serving.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 c butter
1 medium onion chopped
4 clove garlic minced
1/2 lb mushrooms sliced
1/4 c flour
1/2 lb chicken livers
1/2 c marsala wine
1/2 c chicken broth
8 oz wide egg noodles
salt and pepper
fresh chives

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the noodles in salted boiling water then drain. Melt butter in a large skillet. Saute the onion and mushrooms until onions are softened and mushrooms are browned. Add the garlic and saute another minute.
  • 2. Mix the flour with some salt and pepper. Pick through the chicken livers removing any membranes. Dredge the livers in the flour mixture. Place the livers in the pan with the onions and mushrooms. Add any left over flour to the pan also.
  • 3. Pour the wine and chicken stock in the pan and cook until thickened. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper. Serve over noodles and garnish with chives.

Tips:

  • Use fresh chicken livers: Fresh chicken livers are more tender and flavorful than frozen livers. If you must use frozen livers, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Soak the chicken livers in milk: Soaking the chicken livers in milk helps to remove any bitterness and makes them more tender. You can also soak the livers in buttermilk or cream.
  • Dry the chicken livers thoroughly: Before cooking the chicken livers, pat them dry with paper towels. This will help to prevent them from splattering when you add them to the pan.
  • Season the chicken livers generously: Chicken livers have a mild flavor, so it's important to season them generously. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
  • Cook the chicken livers over medium heat: Cooking the chicken livers over medium heat will help to prevent them from becoming tough and overcooked. Cook the livers until they are just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Don't overcook the chicken livers: Overcooked chicken livers are tough and rubbery. Cook the livers until they are just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken livers immediately: Chicken livers are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
