Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups chopped yellow onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 1/2 pints chicken liver, rinsed, drained, and cut into individual lobes
Splash brandy
4 pounds ripe Roma tomatoes, peeled, and coarsely chopped, or 2 (28-ounce) cans crushed Italian tomatoes
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups chicken stock or low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon sugar, if needed
1 pound dried vermicelli
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and saute the onion and garlic until the onions are tender and beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chicken livers and brandy. Return the pan to the heat and shake the pan to ignite. Cook until livers are lightly browned on all sides but still pink inside, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, crushed red pepper, bay leaf, black pepper and chicken stock to the skillet. Stir well, then let the sauce come to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Whisk in the cream and basil. Season with salt and pepper and, if the sauce seems overly acidic, add the sugar.
  • Meanwhile, in a kettle or large saucepan, bring 5 quarts of water to a boil. Add the pasta and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, then transfer to a large bowl. Remove the bay leaf from the chicken liver sauce and discard the leaf. Toss the pasta with some of the tomato sauce, then divide among serving plates. Top each serving with more sauce and some of the chicken livers. Pass the cheese at the table.

CREAMY CHICKEN LIVER PASTA WITH WILD MORELS



Creamy Chicken Liver Pasta With Wild Morels image

Fresh wild mushrooms are the most delicious indulgence, whether it's gray-brown morels in the springtime, golden chanterelles in the summer, or russet-colored porcini in the fall. True, they are expensive (unless you know how to pick your own), but a mere half-pound is all you need for this creamy pasta - and chicken livers are cheap. Serve the pasta in small portions; it is undeniably a bit on the rich side. If you can't find wild mushrooms, use an assortment of cultivated mushrooms, like cremini, oyster mushrooms, King trumpets or shiitake. To give them more wild mushroom flavor, soak just a few a few dried morels or porcini in warm water. When softened, chop them very fine and stir into the sauce.

Categories     dinner, pastas

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 pound wild morels (or other mushrooms)
1 pound chicken livers
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Salt and pepper
Pinch of cayenne
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 large shallots, finely diced
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 to 3 cups chicken stock (or mushroom stock)
1/2 cup crème fraîche
1 pound pappardelle or other pasta
4 egg yolks
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon finely cut chives
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into 1/2-inch ribbons (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut stems from mushrooms (reserve for making mushroom stock, if desired) and cut them to bottom into halves or quarters. If they seem at all sandy, swish them very briefly in a bowl of warm water and blot on kitchen towels, then set aside. Put a large pot of water on to boil for the pasta.
  • Trim chicken livers: cut each liver into two lobes, discarding any veiny bits, then cut livers into 1-inch pieces. Put about 1 cup flour in a low bowl and add 1 teaspoon salt, a generous amount of black pepper and a pinch of cayenne. Dip liver chunks in flour mixture, then set them aside in one layer on a baking sheet.
  • Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium high heat. Quickly brown liver pieces on all sides, then remove them from the pan and blot on paper towels.
  • Add butter and shallots to pan and cook, stirring frequently, until shallots are softened and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, season generously with salt and pepper and cook them together with the shallots for about 5 minutes, until they are somewhat soft.
  • Add sherry and cook for a minute or so, then add 2 cups chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and add previously browned liver. Cook for about 5 minutes. It should look quite saucy. Add more chicken stock, if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in crème fraîche and turn off heat
  • Boil pasta until al dente and drain. While pasta is cooking, beat egg yolks, lemon juice and lemon zest together in a small bowl. Pour egg mixture slowly into chicken liver sauce, then stir for a minute or so over low heat until slightly thickened, being careful not to curdle egg.
  • Divide pasta among bowls and spoon sauce over. Mix tarragon, parsley and chives together and sprinkle over each serving. Scatter prosciutto ribbons on top, if using, and serve immediately.

FETTUCCINE WITH TOMATO AND CHICKEN LIVER SAUCE



Fettuccine with Tomato and Chicken Liver Sauce image

Here is a delicious pasta recipe, another example of the Roman affinity for offal. Whether tripe (trippa) or paiata (pasta sauce made with the stomach of a suckling lamb); or oxtails braised with tomatoes, celery and carrots (coda alla vaccinara), a true Roman meal is bound to include one of them. So what's a little chicken liver with pasta, as in this dish? The Romans love it and have been enjoying it for centuries, so why shouldn't you?

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds fresh fettuccine, page 224
1/2 cup dried porcini mushroom slices (about 1/2 ounce)
1 1/2 cups hot chicken, vegetable, or other light stock
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for finishing
1 cup chopped onion
2 plump garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt, or to taste, plus 2 tablespoons for cooking the pasta
2 ounces fatty prosciutto, preferably a thick slice, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1/2 pound chicken livers, cleaned and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups canned Italian plum tomatoes, preferably San Marzano, with juices, crushed by hand
1 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
A heavy-bottomed high-sided skillet or sauté pan, 14-inch diameter
A food processor fitted with steel blade
A pasta-rolling machine

Steps:

  • To prepare the sauce: Drop the dried porcini into the hot stock, and let it rehydrate for 30 minutes or longer. Before you start cooking, lift the soaked mushrooms from the stock and squeeze them dry-saving all the liquid, of course. Cut the mushrooms in bite-sized pieces, about 1/2 inch. Let the stock sit so any sediment settles to the bottom of the container.
  • Pour 1/3 cup olive oil in the skillet, and set it over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and salt lightly. Cook the onion for a couple of minutes, until it's wilting and sizzling.
  • Clear a space in the pan, and drop in the prosciutto strips. Toss these in the hot spot to caramelize for a minute, then stir them in with the onion.
  • Clear another hot spot for the chopped chicken livers; salt the pieces lightly, stir for a minute until they start to sizzle, then mix with everything else.
  • Introduce the porcini the same way: cook them for a minute in a hot spot, then stir in with other ingredients.
  • Pour in the wine, bring it to a boil, and let it bubble for a minute or so. Pour in the mushroom-soaking stock (but not the sediment in the container). Bring to a boil, and let cook rapidly to reduce slightly, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the crushed tomatoes and their juices into the pan, and stir. Rinse the tomato container with a cup or so of "slosh" water, and stir in. Season lightly with salt.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil, then adjust the heat to keep it perking gently. Stir in another 2 tablespoons of olive oil; cook the sauce uncovered for about 20 minutes, to thicken it and develop the flavors.
  • As the sauce cooks, start heating a large pot of water for the fettuccine, if you will be serving it right away. You will need about 8 quarts of water with 2 tablespoons of coarse salt for this big batch of fresh fettuccine.
  • When the sauce is almost reduced to the consistency you like, start cooking the pasta. (If you will be cooking the pasta later, turn off the heat and let sauce cool; it will thicken as it sits.)
  • Have the pasta water at a full rolling boil. Just before adding the fettuccine, shake each small nest of noodles in a colander or sieve to remove excess flour.
  • Drop in the fettuccine nests at the same time; keep stirring and lifting with tongs to loosen the nests and separate the strands. Cover the pot, and bring the water back to the boil over high heat; stir once or twice to keep the fettuccine from sticking. (At this point, bring your sauce to a simmer if it has been turned off.)
  • When the water's at a rolling boil again, stir and cook the fettuccine for about 2 minutes, or until the strands are cooked al dente. Lift out the noodles in big bunches, using tongs and a spider, and lower them into the sauce; work quickly, so the noodles don't overcook.
  • Toss the fettuccine continuously in the simmering sauce until they're all coated. If the sauce is too thick, loosen it with spoonfuls of hot pasta-cooking water; if the sauce is soupy, cook rapidly over high heat for a few moments to thicken.
  • Turn off the heat, and toss the pasta with half of the grated cheese; drizzle over it a final flourish of olive oil.
  • Serve right away-from the skillet, or a large warm serving bowl if you prefer-passing more cheese at the table.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will result in a tastier and more flavorful sauce.
  • Don't overcook the chicken livers. They should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • If you don't have any chicken livers on hand, you can substitute other types of liver, such as beef or pork liver.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sauce. It should be cooked until the tomatoes have softened and the flavors have melded, but it should not be too thick or dry.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta, such as fettuccine, spaghetti, or penne.

Conclusion:

Fettuccine with Tomato and Chicken Liver Sauce is a classic Italian dish that is both delicious and easy to make. With its rich, flavorful sauce and tender chicken livers, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try.
