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:

  • 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.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup finely chopped onions
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1/4 cup finely diced carrots
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour
1 cup dry red wine
3/4 cup fresh or canned beef or chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 bay leaf
2 sprigs fresh parsley
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 3/4 pounds fresh chicken livers
2 tablespoons ground or rubbed sage
3/4 cup corn, peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley

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.

Tips:

  • Clean the chicken livers properly: Remove any connective tissue or green spots from the livers. Rinse them well under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Soak the chicken livers in milk: Soaking the chicken livers in milk helps to remove any bitterness and makes them more tender.
  • Cook the chicken livers over medium heat: Cooking the chicken livers over medium heat helps to prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Do not overcook the chicken livers: Overcooked chicken livers are tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Season the chicken livers well: Season the chicken livers with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the chicken livers immediately: Chicken livers are best served immediately after they are cooked.
