Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

250g chicken livers
2 shallots , finely chopped
large handful flatleaf parsley , leaves very roughly chopped
1 tbsp capers , rinsed and drained, roughly chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp sherry vinegar
4 slices nice bread , such as sourdough
1 tbsp plain flour
large pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Pick over the livers, cutting away any fatty bits and sinew, then pat the livers dry. Place the shallot, parsley and capers into a bowl and drizzle with half the olive oil and 1 tbsp of the Sherry vinegar.
  • Toast the bread (preferably on a griddle but a toaster is fine). Toss the livers in the flour and cayenne pepper, and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat the rest of the oil in a frying pan and fry the livers over a really high heat for 4-5 mins until brown and crisp on the outside and cooked, but still a little pink in the middle. Splash remaining vinegar into the pan and bubble down for 1 min.
  • Tip the contents of the pan in with the shallot and parsley, toss everything together, season to taste, then pile onto the toasted bread. Season with a little crunchy sea salt and serve.

CHOPPED CHICKEN LIVERS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound chicken livers, (preferably fresh)
6 tablespoon rendered chicken fat (schmaltz), recipe follows
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
Freshly ground pepper
2 hard-cooked large eggs, finely chopped
8 ounces chicken fat and/or skin, cut into small pieces
1 sprig fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • Rinse the livers and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Clean the livers, by trimming and discarding any visible fat, green parts, or membrane. Set the livers aside.
  • In a large saute pan, over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the chicken fat and add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the onions to a plate with a slotted spoon. Wipe out the pan.
  • Spread the livers out in a single layer on a sheet pan and season with the salt and pepper. Raise the heat to high, add 2 tablespoons of the fat to the pan and when the fat begins to shimmer, lay the livers in the pan in a single layer. Working in batches, cook the livers turning each over once, until browned, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the livers to the plate with the onions. Repeat with 2 tablespoons fat and remaining livers. Cool.
  • Coarsely chop the livers with a knife (don't be tempted to use a food processor). In a medium bowl, gently combine the livers with the eggs, onions, and remaining 2 tablespoons fat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Serve with toast and cornichons if desired.
  • Serving suggestion: Toasted rye or pumpernickel bread and cornichons .
  • In a small saucepan combine the chicken fat or skin, thyme, garlic, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low to medium heat. Cook until the fat has rendered (liquefied) and the skin becomes crispy, about 35 to 45 minutes. (Adjust the heat, as needed, to keep the skin from browning too quickly.) Set the chicken fat aside to cool slightly. Strain into a small bowl. If desired reserve the crispy skin. Refrigerate, covered, for up to one week.
  • Yields: about 1/2 cup
