Best 6 Chicken Livers With Red Wine And Bacon Recipes

CHICKEN LIVERS WITH RED-WINE SAUCE

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.

CHICKEN LIVERS IN RED-WINE RHUBARB SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until fat is rendered and discard the bacon. Season the flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Dust the chicken livers with the flour. Increase the heat slightly and add to the skillet. Saute until browned on the outside but still pink in the center, about 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
• Add 1 cup of the rhubarb compote and the wine to the skillet and deglaze the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the chicken livers among 4 plates and spoon the sauce over them. Divide the remaining compote among the plates and serve immediately.

CHICKEN LIVERS IN WINE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp of oil in non-stick skillet and saute onions and mushrooms until tender.
• Put aside.
• In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
• Coat the livers in the dry mixture.
• Heat 3 tbsp of oil in non-stick skillet and fry livers until almost done.

CHICKEN-LIVER PâTé

Steps:

• Put a large, heavy sauté pan over medium heat, and melt 4 tablespoons of the butter until it begins to foam. Add the shallots, and sauté them until translucent, being careful not to allow them to brown. Add the livers, thyme and Madeira or port, and bring the heat to high. Cook, occasionally stirring the livers around in the pan with a spoon, until the wine has reduced and the livers are lightly browned but still very soft and pink on the inside, approximately 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the stove, and put its contents into a blender or food processor, along with the cream and the remaining butter. Purée until smooth, adding a little more cream if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt if necessary.
• Pack the pâté into a glass jar or bowl, then smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about two hours or up to five days. Serve with bacon-onion jam and copious amounts of toast.

CHICKEN LIVERS WITH RED WINE AND BACON

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until almost crisp. Remove bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels. Drain off grease from the skillet, leaving a thin coating on the bottom.
• Using the same skillet, add the onions; cook and stir over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken livers, quickly browning them on the outside. Pour in the wine, adding more if needed to cover the chicken livers. Stir in the olives. Cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the bacon.

BACON CHICKEN LIVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil setting.
• Cut each slice of bacon in half and wrap around each chicken liver, securing with toothpicks.
• Broil until bacon is cooked and crisp on one side, then turn and repeat (about 6 to 8 minutes each side). Serve with honey in a bowl, for dipping.
