Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 egg
Pinch sea salt
1 1/2 pounds calves liver, very thinly sliced
1 cup flour
2 cups fine dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup butter or vegetable oil
4 large shallots, peeled and diced
Juice and segments of 2 limes
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 hard cooked eggs

Steps:

  • Beat the egg with a pinch of salt. Lightly flour the slices of liver, shake off the excess, and dip them first into the beaten egg and then into the breadcrumbs.
  • In a large heavy skillet, over a medium high heat, melt the butter and quickly sear the liver until brown on both sides. Turn the liver only once to avoid overcooking. Remove the liver to a platter and cover with loosely tented foil to keep warm.
  • To the same skillet, over a low heat, add the shallots and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lime juice and sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add the lime segments. Pour this mixture over the liver and garnish with slices of hard cooked egg.
  • Serve with braised green cabbage.

My children didn't like liver but I knew it was good for them so I decided to hide it by substituting chicken livers in a sweet-and-sour pork recipe. My kids loved it...and they never knew the difference!-Diane Murdock, Charlotte Courthouse, Virginia

Tips:

  • Choose fresh chicken livers: Look for livers that are plump, smooth, and have a deep red color. Avoid any livers that are bruised, discolored, or have an off odor.
  • Soak the chicken livers in milk: This helps to remove any impurities and mellows out the flavor of the livers.
  • Dredge the chicken livers in flour: This helps to create a crispy coating on the livers.
  • Cook the chicken livers over medium heat: This helps to prevent them from becoming tough and overcooked.
  • Add the sauce to the chicken livers at the end of cooking: This helps to prevent the sauce from burning.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour chicken livers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors is sure to tantalize your taste buds, and the chicken livers are a good source of protein and iron.
