Time 25m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

350 g chicken livers
200 g bacon
1 onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon garlic
flour, for coating livers
salt and pepper for seasoning

Steps:

  • Dice up onions and bacon and start them simmering in butter and garlic in a small pan. Leave this on a low heat until the onions become translucent and start becoming sweet.
  • While all that is on the stove, chop up your livers and prepare a flour batter seasoned with salt and pepper. Get a thick bottom pan and let it get very hot. Flour up your meat and drop it in in batches. Keep it turning so it browns on all sides but only keep it in for around 1-2min. The inside of the meat should still be lovely and soft when you bite into it. You do NOT want to overcook livers, they have a beautiful flavor on their own.
  • Serve with a side of mash potatoes and parsnips and you've got a lovely meal!

Provided by hunyi81

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

500g chicken liver
4 tbsp sunflower oil
100g butter
2 medium onions
3 tbsp majoram
2 tsp crushed black pepper
1 tomato
1/3 glass of white wine
2 pinch of salt

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!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality chicken livers: Look for livers that are plump, smooth, and free of any blemishes or discoloration.
  • Soak the chicken livers in milk: This helps to remove any impurities and mellows out the flavor.
  • Cook the chicken livers over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from becoming tough or overcooked.
  • Do not overcook the chicken livers: They should be cooked just until they are no longer pink in the center.
  • Season the chicken livers generously: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
  • Serve the chicken livers immediately: They are best when served hot and fresh.
