HOW TO COOK CHICKEN LIVERS AND ONIONS RECIPES

Steps:

• Rinse the livers and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Clean the livers, by trimming and discarding any visible fat, green parts, or membrane. Set the livers aside.
• In a large saute pan, over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the chicken fat and add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the onions to a plate with a slotted spoon. Wipe out the pan.
• Spread the livers out in a single layer on a sheet pan and season with the salt and pepper. Raise the heat to high, add 2 tablespoons of the fat to the pan and when the fat begins to shimmer, lay the livers in the pan in a single layer. Working in batches, cook the livers turning each over once, until browned, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the livers to the plate with the onions. Repeat with 2 tablespoons fat and remaining livers. Cool.
• Coarsely chop the livers with a knife (don't be tempted to use a food processor). In a medium bowl, gently combine the livers with the eggs, onions, and remaining 2 tablespoons fat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Serve with toast and cornichons if desired.
• Serving suggestion: Toasted rye or pumpernickel bread and cornichons .
• In a small saucepan combine the chicken fat or skin, thyme, garlic, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low to medium heat. Cook until the fat has rendered (liquefied) and the skin becomes crispy, about 35 to 45 minutes. (Adjust the heat, as needed, to keep the skin from browning too quickly.) Set the chicken fat aside to cool slightly. Strain into a small bowl. If desired reserve the crispy skin. Refrigerate, covered, for up to one week.
• Yields: about 1/2 cup

Steps:

• Wash the chicken livers, get rid of the fat if it has and cut them to half. Pat dry with kitchen paper. Cut half the onions and slice them. Slice finely the bacons.
• Take a big frying pan, heat the oil and butter put the sliced bacons and fry until it is golden. Then you can add the sliced onions and stir fry for another few mins until gets tender.
• You can turn down the heat now and add the chopped tomato (for the juice), and the livers. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 5 mins. Careful the livers can splash if they are wet!
• Check and stir the livers. You can add the crushed black pepper, the wine and the majorams. Cook for another 4-5 minutes. Wait with the salt! It goes only at the end!
• (You can strenght the flavour of the majorams if you crumble them)
• You will see a kind of stew in you pan. Now you can turn up the heat again and stir the stuff and let it thicken a bit. Now it is time to check the livers. Stab them with a knife. If there's no blood coming out from the liver, it means they are ready. Do not overcook the livers, they become hard.
• If the liver is soft and ready, you can turn off the heat and add the rest of the majorams and season with the salt. Salt must be the last one for the liver!
• To serve, you can make boiled rice or serve with fresh white bread. If you have fresh parsley at home, you can chop a littre for dressing. I can assure your family will like it! You can try it with a little pickles too.
• Good apetite!
