About Chicken liver with oil and onion

Chicken liver with oil and onion is a flavorful and nutrient-rich dish enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, including Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Eastern European traditions. Made by sautéing chicken livers with onions in cooking oil, this dish offers a rich, earthy taste complemented by the natural sweetness of caramelized onions. Chicken livers are an excellent source of protein, iron, vitamin A, and B vitamins like B12, which support red blood cell production and energy metabolism. They are also rich in folate, crucial for DNA synthesis and repair. However, due to their high cholesterol content, chicken livers should be consumed in moderation, particularly by individuals managing cholesterol levels. Cooking with a heart-healthy oil, such as olive oil, can enhance the dish's nutritional profile. This simple yet nutrient-dense recipe reflects a balance of taste and health benefits when enjoyed as part of a varied and mindful diet.
