Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound chicken livers, halved and trimmed
2 to 4 tablespoons clarified butter for frying, more if needed
2 large shallots, chopped
6 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons Cognac
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon meat glaze, or highly reduced stock, as desired
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper, as desired
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Saute chicken livers in a large skillet, using very hot clarified butter. Cook livers in small batches, and remove each to a serving dish before the centers are cooked through.
  • 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.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out bitter. I had to throw it out.

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. It needs more garlic and salt.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out grainy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
