• Melt the butter in a frying pan add the onion and cook until translucent.
• Add the chicken livers, bay leaves and sage.
• Cook the liver until it starts to brown slightly on both sides (you don't want it overcooked)

• Simmer for a further 15 minutes.
• In the meantime, put a pot of water on to boil for the pasta. When it starts to boil add salt and bring to the boil again.
• Remove the bay leaf from the liver and add salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Cook for another 5 minutes.
• Beat the egg yolks in a bowl with the Parmesan cheese and milk .
• Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet
• Strain the pasta and put it back in the pan.
• Add the egg and cheese to the pasta and mix together well to get a creamy consistency (this has to be done quite fast, while the pasta is still hot and immediately before serving otherwise the pasta will get cold quickly!)
• Put the pasta onto the plates and cover with the liver sauce.
• Serve immediately with a little more grated parmesan and black pepper if required

VERMICELLI WITH SPICY CHICKEN LIVER-TOMATO

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.

RIGATONI WITH CHICKEN LIVERS

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted water until very al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
• Season livers with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook livers, flipping once, until plump and golden brown, about 4 minutes; transfer to a cutting board. Reduce heat to medium and melt remaining tablespoon butter. Add onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook until golden, about 8 minutes. Chop livers and return to pan, along with any juices and sage. Increase heat to medium-high. Add wine; simmer until liquid is reduced by half.
• Add pasta and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water. Simmer until sauce coats pasta; remove from heat. Toss with Parmesan and parsley. If dry, toss with more pasta water, a bit at a time. Divide among 6 bowls; drizzle with oil and sprinkle with Parmesan.

CREAMY CHICKEN LIVER PASTA WITH WILD MORELS

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.

CHICKEN-LIVER SAUCE FOR PASTA OR RICE

• Add shallots, mushrooms and, if needed, more butter to skillet, and saute 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add Cognac and wine, and boil until almost completely evaporated. Add meat glaze and cream, and return to a boil, reducing the mixture to a sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return livers to the skillet to finish cooking briefly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with rice or pasta.
