PERI PERI CHICKEN LIVERS



Peri Peri Chicken Livers image

This is another recipe we experienced while vacationing in South Africa. They serve it everywhere but finding a good version of this stuff isn't always easy. In South Africa they use Peri Peri powder instead of cayenne pepper. For me this recipe is a bit of a bust if it's not spicy enough.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

1 tablespoon brandy

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
