Chicken Liver Chorizo Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Wash the chicken livers under cool water. Separate into halves, discarding the connecting sinew.
• Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the oil until very hot in one very large saucepan (about 12 inches) or two smaller saucepans. Add the chicken livers in one layer, sprinkle them with half the salt and pepper, and saute over high heat for 1 minute, partly covering the pan with a lid to prevent splattering. Turn, and cook the livers for 1 minute more. (The livers should be pink inside.)
• Add the garlic and parsley, and mix well. With a slotted spoon, transfer the livers to a bowl, cover and set aside.
• Place the diced lettuce in a large serving bowl. Add the chicken liver pan drippings, and toss to mix well. Add the remaining salt and pepper and the vinegar, and mix well.
• Divide the salad among six individual plates, serving 4 liver halves per person. Serve immediately, while still lukewarm.

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet or stove-top grill pan, add the chorizo slices or chunks, and sauté gently on all sides until the juices run and the edges are slightly crisp. Set aside.
• Mix the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl or pitcher. Use some of the mixture to brush the zucchini halves, then add them to the still-hot pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until hot and golden.
• Put the chicken into a large salad bowl and add the lettuce leaves and olives. Drizzle over the remaining vinaigrette, then add the chorizo and its juices, and the cilantro or parsley. Toss well, then serve immediately with garlic bread, toasted ciabatta, or warmed focaccia.
