Chicken Liver Salad Recipes

WARM CHICKEN LIVER SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the green beans in a pan of boiling water for 3 mins, drain and keep warm. Meanwhile, toss together the chicken livers, olive oil and rosemary. Heat a large non-stick pan and cook the chicken livers over a high heat for 5-6 mins until nicely browned and cooked through - they should still be a little pink in the centre.
• Arrange the beans on serving plates with the lettuce leaves and watercress. Add the vinegar to the pan, cook for a couple of seconds then spoon over the salad. Serve warm with crusty granary bread.

CHICKEN LIVER SALAD

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.

CHICKEN LIVER SALAD

Steps:

• Line 4 plates with the red leaf lettuce.
• Saute chicken livers in the oil until done. Add the grapes and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among the 4 plates.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toasted pine nuts over the salad.
• To toast the pine nuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven. Watch closely as they burn easily.

PAN FRIED CHICKEN LIVER SALAD

Steps:

• Wash and dry the spinach or salad greens. Tear leaves into a large bowl, season with salt and pepper to taste and toss gently to mix.
• Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil with the butter in a large heavy based frying pan. When foaming, add the chicken livers and toss over a medium to high heat for 5 minutes or until the livers are browned but still pink in the centre.
• Remove the lovers from the pan with a slotted spoon, drain them on kitchen paper, then place on top of the spinach.
• Return the pan to a medium heat, add the remaining oil and the vin santo and stir until sizzling.
• Pour the hot dressing over the spinach and livers and toss to coat. Put the salad in a serving bowl and sprinkle over the parmesan shavings.
• Serve at once.
