PERI PERI CHICKEN LIVERS

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.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ pound chicken livers, rinsed and trimmed
salt and ground black pepper 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.

Cook and stir chicken livers until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove the pan from heat and pour brandy over the livers. Scrape the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir and serve immediately.

  • Clean the chicken livers properly: Remove any connective tissue or fat from the chicken livers. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Marinate the chicken livers: Marinating the chicken livers in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to tenderize them and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can try a more complex marinade with ingredients like yogurt, honey, and spices.
  • Cook the chicken livers over high heat: Chicken livers should be cooked over high heat to prevent them from becoming tough. You can fry them in a pan, grill them, or roast them in the oven.
  • Do not overcook the chicken livers: Chicken livers are best when they are cooked just until they are pink in the center. Overcooking them will make them tough and dry.
  • Serve the chicken livers immediately: Chicken livers are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them as an appetizer or main course, with a variety of sides such as rice, potatoes, or salad.
