Chicken Livers Toscani Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken livers under running water and pat dry with paper towel. Cut away any greenish discolored parts. Cut the onion in half and slice each half thinly. Mash the garlic with the flat blade of a knife and chop coarsely.
• Heat the olive oil in a saute pan. Add onion and garlic and cook gently until onion is softened. Add chicken livers. Turn heat up to medium and cook briskly until livers are thoroughly browned.
• Add white wine and chicken stock. Lower heat and simmer approximately 20 minutes, until livers are cooked through. Mash the livers with a fork, or pass them through a food mill to puree them. The texture should be more grainy than smooth. Mix with capers, taste for seasoning, and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve with the sliced bread, either plain or toasted.

Steps:

• Heat 4 tablespoons oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 10 minutes. Add livers, capers, anchovies and pepper flakes, and cook until livers are lightly browned. Add wine and cook until only a few tablespoons of liquid remain, about 15 minutes. Transfer mixture to a food processor, and add remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Pulse until mixture is blended but still lumpy. Transfer to a small bowl, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until needed.

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir livers in the hot skillet until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add olive oil, lemon juice, and salt to livers; gently stir until mixed. Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle garlic over livers.
