Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 slices bacon, chopped
1 sweet onion, finely chopped
1 pound chicken livers, rinsed and trimmed
1 ½ cups Burgundy or other dry red wine
¼ cup chopped pitted green olives

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.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover red wine. I always have a bottle or two open in the fridge and this is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.

I'm not a huge fan of liver, but this recipe changed my mind. The red wine and bacon really helped to mask the liver flavor and the result was a dish that was both delicious and elegant.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The livers are cooked perfectly and the sauce is divine. I like to add a bit of extra garlic and thyme for a more robust flavor.
